He prayed the court not to grant bail to the defendant, saying that the rape offence was not bailable.

He said that if granted bail the defendant would jump bail and would also jeopardise the ongoing investigation, adding that the court should refuse him bail.

The offence, he said, contravened the provision of sections 275 of the Penal Code. The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the rape charge.
