A Delhi court has denied bail to Saksham Kaushik, a 26-year-old man accused of serious offenses against his former partner, including sexual assault, intimidation, and voyeurism. The court, presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Hargurvarinder Singh Jaggi, highlighted the gravity of the allegations and the risk of tampering with evidence as key reasons for the decision. The prosecution presented a case where the complainant alleged that Kaushik had repeatedly assaulted and threatened her, including instances of physical violence and coercion to perform degrading acts. The defense argued that the accusations were false and stemmed from a relationship that soured, presenting evidence of a consensual relationship. However, the court found that the seriousness of the claims, particularly regarding non-consensual acts, warranted continued custody. The judge noted that the investigation is still ongoing, with forensic evidence pending, and expressed concerns that Kaushik could influence the complainant or tamper with evidence if released. The court dismissed the bail application, stating that the nature of the allegations went beyond mere consent issues, emphasizing the importance of the ongoing investigation.
