A local court in Chandigarh, India, has granted regular bail to Ravinder, who is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The ruling was made by Additional Sessions Judge Yashika on April 18, 2026. The case originated on December 8, 2025, when the girl's father reported her missing from their home in Sector-27, Chandigarh. The police investigation traced her mobile phone to Mumbai, where she was found on December 23, 2025. The girl alleged that Ravinder had taken her to Mumbai under the pretext of marriage and had sexual relations with her. Following her statement and medical examination, additional charges were filed against the accused. The defence argued that Ravinder was falsely implicated and had been in custody since December 27, 2025. The court observed that the victim and complainant had already been examined, leading to the decision to grant bail on a bond of ₹50,000 (approximately $600 USD).
