It was contended by Omar Lulu that during the relationship, the complainant was suspicious towards him and that she would take his phone to verify the calls and chats. It was also alleged that the behaviour of the actress became hysteric, and resultantly, the couple broke up in December 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the actress filed a complaint against Omar Lulu allegingthat Omar Lulu took her to different hotels on multiple occasions and sexually abused her on the false pretext that he would give her another opportunity in his movie and marry her. However, Omar Lulu contended that they were in a consensual relationship.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Considering the facts, arguments and the First Information Statement, the Court refused to make any observation on the merits of the case since the investigation was pending but opined that <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">prima facie<\/span>, the relationship between the parties was consensual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that this was a fit case for Omar Lulu to be released on bail under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804219\" target=\"_blank\">482<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804327\" target=\"_blank\">BNSS<\/a> and also, relied on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">P.
