4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that totally there are five accused involved in this case. A1, who is an Australian Citizen, has created a face book group in the name of WSB Rebels 2.0, in which, the petitioner/A2 is a Moderator and the defacto complainant joined in the said face book in the year 2019 and she had affair with some other persons and took photos and using the same, they threatened the defacto complainant. That apart, already the petitioner filed anticipatory bail, when this Court about to dismiss the petition, it was withdrawn as dismissed.
