What is the whole matter?
The victim is said to be a law student. It is alleged that the accused had called her to the flat on the pretext of introducing her to a lawyer, where she was raped. After the matter came to light, the police arrested the accused. After being in jail for almost nine months, he has now got bail from the court. Although getting bail is a part of the legal process, people have expressed strong displeasure over the way the accused was welcomed publicly.
People’s anger erupted on social media
After the video surfaced, users on social media raised questions as to what message does welcoming a person facing serious allegations give. Many people called it insulting to the victim, while some also expressed concern over law and order. Many people associated with women’s rights said that such scenes send a wrong message to the society and can weaken the victims’ faith in justice.

What did the police say?
Police say that the viral video is being investigated. According to officials, videos of supporters of the accused showering flowers and taking out a convoy have surfaced, which are being investigated. The police are also checking whether there was any violation of law and order or permission related rules during this period.
Difference between bail and conviction
Legal experts say that getting bail of an accused does not prove that he has been acquitted. The final decision is taken only on the basis of trial and evidence in the court. In such a situation, presenting a person facing serious charges as a “hero” also raises questions on social responsibility.
