We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the minor shows she was sexually exploited through blackmail. Her objectionable picture was uploaded on the internet. In view of the incriminating materials implicating the petitioner in the crime, we are not inclined to grant bail to him at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
