It was further alleged that the accused recorded her sexually explicit video and transmitted the same through electronic media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was submitted on behalf of the applicant that he was falsely implicated in the instant matter in the absence of any material on record connecting him with the alleged crime. However, the prosecution portrayed the same as parts of intentional criminal acts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Court&#8217;s Perusal of WhatsApp Chats<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court perused a WhatsApp screenshot depicting conversation between the applicant and the victim showing that the victim voluntarily went to the hotel while having knowing knowledge of the applicant and the accused being present in the hotel. It further depicted that the sexual intercourse was consensual in nature, and there was receipt of payment of Rs 5,000 paid by the applicant to the victim after the said incident. In addition, there was a delay of 12 days in lodging the First Information Report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After going through the aforementioned material, the Court was of the view that &#8220;Considering the allegations levelled against the applicant, his custodial interrogation does not appear to be necessary&#8221;. As expressed by the Court, it was a fit case for granting pre-arrest bail to the applicant. The Court listed the conditions to be abided by the applicant while being released on bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Umesh v.
