Bombay High Court Denies Bail to Man Accused of Rape and Sharing Private VideosPreviousNext

The Bombay High Court denied anticipatory bail to a man accused of raping a woman by falsely promising her film work. The court noted a prima facie case of rape and misuse of trust, citing that the accused took objectionable photos and videos, later circulating them on social media. The woman approached him for an audition, unaware he was married. The relationship ended after his wife discovered it, with the accused allegedly threatening to share private material online.
