Thereafter, the deceased mentioned this fact to the father and committed suicide. 4] Prima facie, it appears that the applicant threatened the victim that he knows about her relations with other person and the applicant was seeking sexual favour from the victim threatening her he will defame her in the society. Due to harassment of the applicant, the deceased has committed suicide. This is a case of sexual exploitation by the applicant leading the victim to commit suicide. Therefore, this is not a case to grant anticipatory bail. Hence, the present application is dismissed. 5] It is also clarified that the observations made in this order are limited to the disposal of the present anticipatory bail application and the trial Court shall not be influenced by the observations of this Court while deciding regular bail or at trial.
