APP: Initially she attended, then application was rejected, then again she gave her mobile phone. But she gave after deleting the alleged explicit video clip.

Petitioner: Those videos are available on public domain like YouTube and Google. It is not like she has created those videos.
Court: Do you want her presence in station?
