The informant has alleged in the FIR that she was alone at her home on 19.11.2023. The accused Naseem came to his house at about 4 pm and asked about her husband. When the accused found that the victim was alone in her house, he started talking obscenely with her and also dragged her by pulling her into the room. The victim, however, managed to escape from the custody of the accused Naseem. She has further alleged that after the said occurrence accused Naseem along with other accused, Nafish and Soyeb Ahmad, are threatening her to publish her photographs on social media, if she does not fulfill their demand of paying them Rs. 2 lakhs. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that main role has been assigned to accused Naseem. However said allegations are also false. Certain dispute between Nafish and some other persons relating to a property is pending before civil court. A civil suit bearing no. 105 of 2023 (Nafish Versus Counsel for Appellant(s) : Alok Kumar Srivastava, Rupendra Kumar Mishra Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Nafish Ahmad @ Kallu And Another .....Appellant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Respondent(s) Ahmad vs. Balbir Yadav and others) was filed by the appellant Nafish. The victim resides in a rented room of Balbir Yadav. Balbir Yadav is defendant in the said suit. Second defendant Assu Ahmad has also lodged certain FIRs against appellant wherein he alleged that appellant was trying to grab his property. Appellants have no concern with the victim and have been falsely implicated in this case, and no prima facie case is made out against them. 5. Learned AGA has opposed the bail and submitted that the informant/victim has clearly alleged that she was threatened by the appellants, who were demanding Rs. 2 lakhs, and they also threatened to publish her photographs on social media. 6. I have considered the rival submissions so made and have gone through the entire record. It is not clear from the FIR and the statement of the victim recorded during the investigation regarding the alleged photographs which have been alleged by the victim. 7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, the Court is of the opinion that the appellant has made out a case for bail. 8.
