Delhi High Court Grants Bail to Gym Trainer Accused of Raping Lawyer

The Delhi High Court granted bail to a married gym trainer accused of raping a lawyer, rejecting the police's opposition which cited his marital status and alleged extramarital affair. The court noted the accused has been in jail since November 2025 and found no objectionable material on his devices, suggesting a consensual relationship. It questioned the prosecutrix's claim of being drugged and raped at a distant hotel, highlighting her age and professional status. The police's religious difference argument was also dismissed.
