The bail petition was filed in the VIII Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Ranga Reddy District court by Rao’s counsel. The court observed that the allegations against the inspector were grievous and serious in nature and that investigation was in a premature stage. A medical report was awaited and the case record also disclosed that the victim suffered a lot.

“It is not a fit case to grant bail to the accused,” the court noted.
