Quick Summary: On January 19, 2026, the Delhi High Court refused to let Yogesh@Monu@Harvinder out of jail temporarily while he waits for his trial. He is accused of serious crimes under laws related to sexual offenses and crimes against children. The court found his reasons for wanting to be released insufficient.
Yogesh@Monu@Harvinder asked for temporary release while waiting for his trial related to a police report filed in 2021. The charges involve accusations of rape and other crimes against a child. The prosecution claims that Yogesh raped a young girl, who later had a baby. Sadly, both the girl and the baby have passed away.
"The young girl allegedly raped by the accused also gave birth to a child, whose father was allegedly identified through DNA testing."
Yogesh's lawyer argued that he had been let out of jail temporarily twice before and returned each time without any problems. They believed this showed he could be trusted and deserved another chance to be released temporarily.
The government lawyer, Mr. Sanjeev Sabharwal, opposed letting him out, supported by Inspector Umesh Yadav. The victim's parents also came to court and strongly opposed the bail request.
Judge Girish Kathpalia looked at the case and decided that the seriousness of the crime and the reasons given for the temporary release did not justify letting him out of jail. The request was denied on January 19, 2026.
"Considering all the facts and circumstances of this case... I do not find it suitable to allow temporary release."
This decision shows the court's approach to serious crimes and the careful thought given to the details of such cases.
