Sept. 25 (PTI) -- A lawyer arrested for allegedly raping
two women on different occasions has been granted bail by a
Delhi court which asked him not to influence any of the
complainants in the case.
Additional Sessions Judge V K Khanna enlarged the lawyer on
bail on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with one
surety of the like amount.
The court also asked him to furnish the same bail bond in
the other rape case lodged against him.
While releasing the advocate on bail, the court said that
he should "not in any manner influence the complainants or try
to meet them, otherwise it will go against him".
The accused assured the court that he will abide by its
directions and also cooperate in the case.
The lawyer was arrested on September 16 after a 19-year-old
girl lodged a complaint at New Friends Colony Police Station
here alleging that she had been raped by him on the false
pretext of marrying her.
During the hearing, the court had asked the complainant if
she wanted to marry the accused. The girl replied that she will
not enter into wedlock with the lawyer as she had been "cheated"
by him.
In another case, a 27-year-old woman had alleged that the
lawyer had established physical relations with her since 2011
during the pendency of a divorce case in which he was
representing her.
The 19-year-girl had told the police that in March when the
accused called her to his flat in south Delhi, the other woman
(the second complainant) was also present there.
She said that as they both felt cheated, they decided to
file complaints with the police
