Prayagraj, 15 October (Hindustan Reporter). The Allahabad High Court has rejected the bail application of the accused of raping a four-year old innocent girl and said that an attempt was made to rape a girl who did not know the meaning of the crime. The court said that in a country where girls are worshipped, a heinous crime like rape is being committed with small girls. Such incidents are increasing.

The court said that this is a serious crime not only against the victim but also against the society. Such a crime is a violation of the fundamental right to life enshrined in Article 21. If the right decision is not taken then public confidence in the justice system will be lost. The court refused to grant bail and directed to complete the trial within one year.

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav has given this order while hearing the bail application of accused Ahsan of police station Katghar, Moradabad. It is known that on April 21, 24, at 3 o'clock in the day, the girl had gone outside to watch the show. People told that the petitioner had forcibly taken her along.

The family started searching for the girl. When a sound was heard near the railway gate crossing, the petitioner ran away after seeing the family members coming. The girl was unconscious, her clothes were off, there were many injuries on her body. There was an attempt to rape. FIR of the incident was registered.

The petitioner said that he is innocent, he has been falsely implicated. The FIR for the incident of April 21 was written six days later on April 27, 24. The reason for the delay has not been given. The petitioner is in jail since 31 May 24. The petitioner had complained against the complainant's driver Wasim. He did wrong thing and ran away and entered my house and filed a false FIR.

The petitioner also said that there is a contradiction in both the statements of the victim. This is contrary to the medical report. No internal or external injuries were found in the medical report, whereas injuries on the body have been mentioned in the FIR. The petitioner has disclosed the history of four criminal cases against him. The government lawyer opposed the bail and said that this crime is heinous. The accused is not fit to be released on bail. The court rejected the bail application.
