The statement of the receptionist of Ashiyana Guest House was recorded by the Investigating Officer, who has stated that victim came with the applicant and stayed in Hotel. When the victim was in the bathroom, applicant ran away from hotel with her mobile and purse. Thereafter, the first information report was lodged against the applicant. The applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The victim went with the applicant and stayed with him. Thereafter, on account of fear of family members, victim has falsely implicated him. The applicant has no criminal history to his credit and he is languishing in jail since 14.11.2018. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
