Even in the formats of the intimation of grounds of arrest it is observed that specific facts constituting the offence has not been communicated to the accused person,&#8221; the Court said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>Under Article 22(1) of the Constitution and established legal principles, an accused must be clearly informed of the reasons for their arrest, the court further noted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Sonam Raghuvanshi\u2019s counsel argued that her arrest was legally flawed as she was not properly informed about the specific grounds of arrest, as required under law, according to a report by LiveLaw.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The lawyer submitted that merely mentioning sections or using standard formats is not enough and the police must clearly communicate the exact facts and allegations forming the basis of the arrest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The decision has triggered outrage from the victim\u2019s family, who questioned the investigation and expressed fears for their safety if other accused also secure bail, as per the report by ANI news agency.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Raja\u2019s mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, demanded a CBI probe, alleging lapses in the investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>\u201cIf such a serious crime can lead to bail, what faith can we have in justice?\u201d she added, vowing to continue the fight for justice.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Raja\u2019s brother Vipin Raghuvanshi said the family would challenge the order in the High Court.
