Goswami came there and started abusing her. That time some hot altercation took place. After that she proceeded to her workplace and left the P.O. Thereafter the accused Subhankar went to the residence of the informant and threatened the mother of the complainant and out of fear the mother of the informant called her and after hearing the information she rushed to her house when the accused Dipankar Goswami started abusing her in slang languages and became furious and pushed the informant and he also tried to outraged her modesty and when colleague of the informant came to rescue that time the accused Subhankar Goswami started assaulting him and not only that he also assaulted the mother of the informant. This is the gist of the FIR. The investigation of the case is in progress. I have perused the CD and the materials so far collected and also the statement of the witnesses so far collected by I.O. up to this stage of investigation and also perused the injury report of the alleged victim. The statement of the victim is also recorded by the Learned Court below. Also perused the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Arnesh Kumar vs. State of Bihar & Anr. reported in (2014) 8 SCC 273. From the facts and circumstances of this case and also considering the materials on record it appears to this Court that this is a fit case where consideration of pre-arrest bail be granted to the applicant accused persons and accordingly the application for granting pre-arrest bail to the accused persons stands allowed.
