On Wednesday, the arrested classmate's lawyer, Pragyadipto Roy, filed a bail application in the court. He said in his argument in court that the victim went out of the private medical college and hospital with her client of her own will.
He pointed that the victim's first statement also says that. Then the lawyer said that his client is in a love relationship with the victim. The lawyer then pleaded that the classmate should be granted bail as there is no rape charge against him.
