Mumbai cop gets bail in rape case, victim yet to file FIR

April 30, 2012 18:04

The Bombay High Court today granted anticipatory bail to rape accused ACP Anil Mahabole, observing that prima facie no case was made out for even registration of an FIR against him.

Mahabole, accused of raping a middle-aged housewife, had moved the High Court after the sessions court rejected his anticipatory bail application.

"The victim has to come forward and say that she was raped. She has not said so in her statement to the investigating officer. There is no forcible sexual intercourse disclosed. Hence there is no case even for registration of FIR," Justice A M Thipsay said.
