3.

The record indicates that the co-accused, namely, Sangeeta Raees Patel @ Shaikh has been released on bail by this Court by an Order dated 06.11.2017. The role attributed to the present applicants is same and/or similar to that of Sangeeta Patel i.e. the victims in the crime have stated that the applicants accompanied them for the purpose of prostitution at Bhiwandi. The statements of victim girls indicate that, they were not forced to indulge into the vocation of prostitution by the applicants and they were indulging into the same at their own will.
