For the unversed, a Supreme Court bench during a hearing asked a rape accused if he intended to marry the victim. He said he had wanted to do so earlier but is married to someone else now. The government employee is facing charges under sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly raping a minor girl repeatedly when she was in the ninth standard and threatening her.
The court has now provided him interim protection from arrest for four weeks, during which he can seek regular bail from the sessions court.
