Title
Bail plea dismissed in Tikri sexual abuse case
Description
Just over a month after an FIR was registered for the alleged sexual exploitation of an activist at the Tikri border in Bahadurgarh during her stay to participate in the farmers’ agitation, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today “dismissed” the anticipatory bail plea of an accused. In his petition placed before the Bench of Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri, accused Ankur submitted that he was being unnecessarily harassed and humiliated by the police even though his name was not mentioned at any stage by the victim or her father in the complaint. The FIR was registered on May 9 at the Bahadurgarh city police station. — TNS
