5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A.P.P for the State and learned counsel for the informant. It is submitted by learned counsel for the informant that there is direct allegation of the petitioner having committed rape on the daughter of the informant, which has been supported by the victim in her statement recorded in course of investigation.
