According to the Director General of Police Abhayanand the youths had been booked under Sections that were bailable. The police work as per the law, which was followed in this case too. They were booked under bailable sections and hence got bail. But instructions have been sent to the cops to file a chargesheet in the case immediately. Also, instructions have been given that the police should request the court of the chief judicial magistrate to immediately start a trial in the case, he told a section of media.
Since the main accused, Ashish, is the son of a senior government official the three boys were granted bail the same evening on a personal bail bond of Rs 5,000.
Though the three boys were booked under bailable Sections 354 (use of force against women with intent to outrage modesty) and 504 (intentional insult) of the IPC yet in a similar incident which took place almost at the same place on September 26 the boys involved in assaulting the girl were booked under Section 307 (attempt to murder).
A young girl was pulled out of a moving car and allegedly molested and thrashed by two youths in broad daylight. The police had nabbed one of the boys and slapped a case under Section 307, a non-bailable offence, on the boy, who was forwarded to prison.
