Summary:
A special court has rejected the bail plea of the deputy commissioner of Income Tax booked for allegedly raping his 14-year-old domestic help last year. While arguing for the bail, the accused had claimed his wife engaged the victim to work at their home in Mumbai. The incident came to light when the victim went to her native place and told her mother about it. The accused, who was arrested on September 5, this year, also claimed that the medical report did not support the prosecution case. The prosecution had opposed the bail plea, justifying the delay in filing the FIR stating that the victim and her mother were under tremendous pressure to lodge the report against him..
