FIR was registered against him under the relevant provisions of the BNS, POCSO Act, and the Information Technology Act.

The applicant, seeking bail, argued that he was in custody since April 2026, and was ready to undertake to not use social media in case the Court was of the opinion that he had misused the platform. It was submitted that he was a young person, having friendship with the victim, hence he should be given one opportunity to mend his ways.

After hearing the contentions, Justice Ashok Kumar Jain opined that taking into consideration the alleged offence, it was appropriate to impose a ban on the applicant from using social media for atleast 3 years so that he may learn a lesson not to misuse any online platform.

Accordingly, the bail was granted wherein the following was one of the conditions,

“The applicant-accused shall submit an affidavit/undertaking before the trial Court for not using social media platform including facebook, instagram, thread, snapchat etc. for a period of three years and if it is found that the applicant-accused is using any of the social media platform in his own name or any fictitious name then his bail order may be recalled by the trial Court itself.”
