Harsh Kumar vs State of Bihar — 188/2026

The District Court in Aurangabad, Bihar rejected the bail application of Harsh Kumar (26), who was accused of kidnapping a minor girl (aged 16 years 11 months). The court found substantial evidence of the alleged crime, including 239 phone calls between the accused and the victim, continuous conversations on the night before the incident, and the victim's statement confirming she traveled to Kolkata with the accused. Despite the defense arguing it was a consensual relationship, the court held that the victim's minor status under parental guardianship constituted kidnapping under serious charges, and the ongoing investigation necessitated continued judicial custody.
