"Keeping in mind the woman’s condition and situation and how physically and emotionally she is hurt, Faizan Khan should not be given bail,” the Delhi Court said.

The accused had requested bail on the grounds that the woman had voluntarily engaged in physical intercourse with him and had not requested any money from him. He said that neither the time, date, or location of the alleged incident were specified in the FIR filed in response to his complaint.

Khan, who has been held in custody since December 4, 2021, also stated that the FIR was filed with an excessive and unjustifiable delay. The woman insisted through his lawyer, Sahil Mongia, that her consent was not given freely, but was given in exchange for his promise to marry her.

"The woman's consent was falsely received by promising marriage. Such consent is considered no consent. The woman was falsely promised the marriage thing, this is completely wrong and there are many more like her, behavior like this shouldn’t be encouraged.” stated lawyer Sahil Mongia. He said that Faizan Khan is a bodybuilder who could threaten his client if he is released on bail.
