The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 03.06.2025 against four named persons, including the applicant and an unknown person, stating that the informant had borrowed money from other three named co- accused persons. He could not repay the money lent by the co- accused persons and he started residing at Varanasi for earning his livelihood. On 02.06.2025, the other three named accused persons, who had lent money to the informant, forcibly brought him, kept him bondage in a hotel room and threatened him to pay Rs. 7 Lakhs to them. The informant stated that the applicant and another unknown person was also involved in it. He further stated that when the accused persons came to know that police was looking after the informant, they set the informant free. 5. In the affidavit filed in support of the anticipatory bail application, it has been stated that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant's involvement in another criminal case has been disclosed by filing a supplementary affidavit, in which he has already been released on bail. 6. The learned A.G.A. has opposed the anticipatory bail application and he has submitted that the investigation of the present case is still going on. 7.
