Quick Summary: On February 16, 2026, the Delhi High Court granted anticipatory bail to Sagar, who was accused of dowry torture and other offenses. Justice Girish Kathpalia made the decision based on the lack of evidence and investigation issues.
Sagar asked for anticipatory bail after being accused in FIR No. 134/2025 at PS Ambedkar Nagar. The charges included dowry torture and breaking trust related to his wife's belongings.
Sagar's wife accused him of serious actions, including filming inappropriate acts and threatening to share these videos. However, Sagar's lawyers argued that these claims were false and made just to get him arrested.
The officer in charge of the investigation and the police station head were not present during the hearing. Officer Ramphool, who was in court, did not know all the facts, showing gaps in the investigation.
Even though Sagar gave up his phones, no evidence was found. The complainant said these weren't the phones used, but didn't provide any details about the device she was referring to.
Justice Kathpalia pointed out the unclear details in the complaint, especially about the filming accusations. The complaint didn't have specific dates or details, making it seem less believable.
"The present FIR was lodged in February 2025 and admittedly, the accused/applicant never shared any such alleged video with anyone, which prima facie, creates suspicion about truthfulness of such allegation."
The court granted Sagar anticipatory bail, requiring a personal bond of Rs. 10,000 and a surety. He must cooperate with the investigation when needed.
In summary, the court decided to grant Sagar bail because there wasn't enough clear evidence against him, and the investigation had many issues.
