JAMMU, Dec 19: High Court has rejected the bail application of Angat Kumar, who is the main accused in rape case of mentally retarded girl in Rotary Inner Wheel Home.
After hearing both the sides, Justice Sanjay Kumar Gupta observed, “from bare perusal of allegations and other evidence produced so far by prosecution it is evident that victims have categorically stated against the accused persons”, adding “the ground taken that other co accused have already been enlarged on bail, is not plausible ground to grant the bail to petitioner in such heinous offence”.
“The petitioner despite being custodian of deaf and dumb girls living in a home at Channi Himmat have sexually abused them; it is a sin for which even God will not forgive the petitioner. Victims were just like his daughters; even then he has not spared them”, the court said, adding “the punishment provided for offence charged is minimum ten years, which may extend to life imprisonment”.
