The Karnataka High Court has today granted bail to Pascal Mazurier, the Consular Attach’ to the Consulate General of France. He is accused by his wife of raping their three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Justice H N Nagamohan Das allowed bail to Pascal on the conditions that he should surrender his Passport and give an undertaking that he will not leave the Country till the case is disposed. The court also asked him to furnish two sureties of one lakh each. Earlier, the Fast Track Court I, Bangalore, had, on July 27, rejected his plea for bail while observing that though DNA test has not tallied with the DNA profile of the accused, bail cannot be granted to him only on this ground. The High Grounds Police booked a case of rape against Mr. Mazurier on June 14 based on a complaint by Ms. Mazurier, and he was arrested on June 19.
