On 14.12.2024 at about 12:30 midnight, Lohardaga police on the basis of confidential information that some dacoits had assembled near the house of Sitamuni Ekka at DAV Road Juria, raided the place of occurrence and apprehended the petitioner along with co-accused persons. On search, a loaded country made pistol was recovered from the possession of the petitioner.
It was submitted that petitioner is in custody since 14.12.2024. Considering the period of custody, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
