The Supreme Court questioned the Maharashtra government over issuing a Blue Corner Notice in a rape case based on an alleged false promise of marriage, while granting anticipatory bail to an NRI accused and staying coercive measures against him.
A 42-year-old female constable filed a complaint against Lieutenant Colonel Varun Pratap Singh, accusing him of raping her after falsely promising to marry her. Singh, already married, allegedly used deceit to maintain a relationship, leading to a police case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for sexual intercourse based on a false promise.
