The court released head constable Raj Singh on bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and noted that the complainant's statement has been recorded.
It said rest of the collection of evidence appeared to be documentary in nature i.E. CDR etc., to know the call details/ connectivity between persons involved and their locations.
"He was having injuries...No plausible reason forwarded by prosecution as to how these injuries came on Raj Singh.
"Now all these suggest that the story of prosecution is not fool proof/without any inconsistency," the court said.

The court also granted anticipatory bail to suspended Assistant Sub Inspector Mukesh, another accused in the case, and directed him to join the probe and not interfere in the investigation or create pressure on the witnesses.
Advocate Rajesh Sharma, who appeared for Singh, sought bail on the ground that the official was having many enemies on account of his police duty and that he was abducted by the complainant and his companions for murdering him.
He argued that when a call was made by an independent person stating that some persons have abducted Singh and there was no escape for the complainant and his companions, they cooked up this story of extortion.
According to the prosecution, the three police officials allegedly picked up two boys, who are pursuing B.Com from a DU college in Janakpuri area on April 10.
and told them they would pay another instalment of Rs 50,000 in a few hours.
On the evening of April 10, Raj Singh and Vipin came to south Delhi's Satya Niketan to negotiate with the boys.
A scuffle broke out at the spot during which Vipin fled but the men overpowered Raj Singh and brought him to the South Campus Police Station where a case of extortion and criminal conspiracy was registered against the accused, it said.
While Raj Singh, posted in southwest, was attending Police Training School for a course, the other two officials were posted in the vigilance wing of west district. All three have been suspended, pending investigation.
"However, no effort was made to call police (this behaviour is expected from prudent person because it cannot be said that both were afraid since later on also they were having accused Raj Singh and going towards police station to hand him over to police)," the judge said.
The court also raised question on change of vehicle in which Raj Singh was brought to police station by complainant.
"This makes the explanation of counsel for accused more probable that since applicant Raj Singh was abducted by these persons and a public call was already made informing the make and registration number of this car and someone was giving information to these persons from police channels, they abandoned the car and went towards the auto," it said.
