The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, on the other hand, on the basis of materials available on record and the case diary has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that from perusal of the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS it suggests that victim was recovered from house of the petitioner and it also appears from paragraph-4 of the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS that the victim was in the house of the petitioner and other co-accused persons have been arrested from the house of the petitioner.
