2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner and the complainant both are majors and he has not committed such offence. He specifically referred to the chats as took placed between both the persons which disclosed their personal relationship which prima facie does not show any offence as reported by way of FIR. Learned counsel prayed that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail by this Court on exercise of power under Section 482 B.N.S.S.

(438 Cr.P.C).
