Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the victim, who is the husband of the informant had taken Rupees Five Lakhs from one Sanjay Tirkey, who is also an accused in this case. It was further submitted that the accused persons had restrained the husband of the informant in order to realize the loan amount. It was also submitted that Sanjay Tirkey and other co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court in B.A. Nos. 1094/2025 and 4178/2025. -2- Mr. Santosh Kumar Shukla, learned A.P.P on behalf of the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner was apprehended in a Sumo car alongwith the victim.
