1A. Heard Sri Ankit Kumar Pal, learned counsel for accused applicant,
Sri Singh, learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. for State.

2. The present bail application has been moved by the applicant accused-
Rinku @ Rahul to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No. 223 of 2026,
under Sections 137(2), 87, 351(2) BNS, P.S.- Kamalganj, District-

3. It is the contention of learned counsel for applicant that the accused
applicant has been falsely implicated in belated FIR dated 21.07.2026
lodged by father of the victim with the allegation for enticement of his
daughter aged about 17 years, when she went to attend the call of nature,
against four persons including the accused applicant. In the statement of
victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, she specifically stated
about the relations between the two. The accused applicant has only taken
the victim to various places. There was no physical relation between the
two. It is the contention of learned counsel that there is inconsistency in
the statement of victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS. The
applicant has no criminal history. The investigation is continuing and the
applicant is co-operating in the investigation. The accused applicant is
languishing in jail since 29.07.2026. He seeks enlargement of accused on
bail.
