2. This petitioner herein is a named accused in First Information Report registered based on the complaint given by one Prabhakaran. According to the First Information Report, this petitioner along with one Chandiran had developed acquaintance with the defacto complainant through an online application for Gay sex and after enticing he had come and secured a place at Periyandichi Amman Koil, taken his photographs and started threatening him and extracted money. The co-accused Chandiran was arrested and this petitioner was absconding. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the arrested accused was enlarged on bail, since the offence being committed with an assistance of online application, all the criminal acts of the petitioner have to be ascertained and absconding of the accused will not help the respondent to complete the investigation.
