2. In the present case, the petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Paraiya P.S. Case No. 332 of 2024 registered for the offences under Sections 137(2), 87 of B.N.S.
3. As per prosecution case, 18 years old daughter of the informant went missing and the informant named this petitioner who kidnapped her daughter.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. The petitioner has been made accused in this case merely on suspicion. The victim was student in the coaching institute of the petitioner. The statement of the victim girl was recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of BNSS wherein she stated that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24347 of 2026(2) dt.24-04-2026 2/3 she left the house on her own and never met the petitioner. She further stated that she contacted the petitioner on telephone and the petitioner instructed her to return home and the petitioner also informed the cousin of the victim about her leaving the house. Learned counsel further submits that not a single word has been uttered against the petitioner for any wrong doing. From the statement of the victim recorded by the police as well as before the learned Magistrate, it transpires that the petitioner has no concern with the alleged occurrence rather he helped the informant's family by giving information about the location of the victim. The petitioner even accompanied the informant in search of her daughter.
Learned counsel further submits that the father of the victim brought her from Dhanband on 03.10.2024 and her mother lodged this false case on the same day against the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that it is a case of false implication and it is also clear from the delay in lodging the FIR as the occurrence said to have taken place on 30.09.2024 but without any satisfactory explanation, the FIR has been lodged on 03.10.2024. The petitioner is having clean antecedent.
5. Learned APP opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner.
