The Allahabad High Court on Monday denied bail to one Halkaee Ahirwar, who has been accused of committing gang rape against a 14-year-old girl in April this year and making viral a video of the entire incident.

On the other hand, counsel present on behalf of the High Court Legal Service Committee stated that the applicant, along with other co-accused, had been accused of raping the 14-year-old victim and making a video of the gang-rape viral. The court also factored in that the case diary mentions that the statements of the victim under Sections 161 and 164 of the CrPC, the statements of an independent witness, and the accused Sevaram's statement from his mobile phone have been used as evidence and based on the evidence collected, including the viral video, the case had been filed under Section 67 of the IT Act.
