Man accused of deceiving woman into sexual relationship gets bail
New Delhi: A Delhi court has granted bail to a married man accused of deceiving a woman into having sexual intercourse with him on a false promise of marriage, saying that he had joined the investigation before his arrest and that the investigating officer could not point out any need for his custodial interrogation.
Additional Sessions Judge Rajinder Kumar was hearing a plea filed by the man who was arrested on September 16 in a case registered under BNS Section 69 at Kirti Nagar police station. The accused had claimed that their relationship was consensual.
Section 69 deals with sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means, including a false promise of marriage made without the intention of fulfilling it. In an order dated October 16, the court said, “The applicant has joined the investigation in this case prior to his arrest. Nothing is to be recovered from/at the instance of the accused…. The IO has failed to point out any ground for which custodial interrogation of the applicant is required.”
The court directed the man to furnish a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with one surety of the same amount. Opposing the bail plea, the prosecution and the complainant’s counsel argued that the allegations were serious and the investigation was underway.
