Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that there are some contradictions in the statement of the witness, but he could not indicate any such statement. 5. The victim has already been examined at trial. She has stated that it is the applicant, who had called her multiple times, sometimes 84 times in a day, and he compelled the victim to accompany him. He took her at various places, but, subsequently, when the matter was reported to police, he released the victim under the threat that she should not reveal anything to anyone. She has also stated that, in fact, the applicant wanted to molest her. 6. It is a case of kidnapping by force. 7.
