Case No.91/2025 registered under Sections 61(2)/310(4)/319(2) of the BNS. The F.I.R. dated 01.08.2025 reveals that on source information about a racket to transport fake currency and loot black money from businessmen and that they were coming from Guwahati to Bongaigaon, the police personnel conducted naka checking and during the same they found a vehicle which was proceeding from a particular direction to another and on seeing the checking put up by the police personnel the said vehicle turned on a different side and the police personnel chased the said vehicle and stopped it and apprehended the petitioner along with three others from the said vehicle. The said accused persons were brought to the Jogighopa Police Station for interrogation and during interrogation it was found that they by coordinating with one Bhaskar Boro had the intention to loot an amount of Rs.12 Crores which was coming from Tura, Meghalaya towards Bongaigaon side and when the I.D. numbers were asked from the accused persons, two accused persons had given fake identities to the police personnel. As far as the present petitioner is concerned, it is reflected in the F.I.R. that upon apprehension of the petitioner along with others the petitioner had shown a fake identity card which reflected that he is an official of the National Intelligence Bureau and he identifies himself as a senior officer of the said organisation. Mr. I. Rafique, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no Page No.# 3/3 connection with the alleged offence and that he was simply accompanying the other accused persons. Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Addl. P.P., however, submits that the petitioner has written in the petition that he is a businessman by profession and that he had come down from Guwahati, Assam to start a new business and as such he submits that the identification given by the petitioner was a fake one. He also submits on perusal of the Case Diary that the petitioner was involved in the said offence of preparing to commit dacoity. On consideration of the submissions made at the Bar and on perusal of the records, this Court finds that the petitioner had given a fake identity card to the police personnel and the same is substantiated by his own statement made in this Bail Application that he is a businessman. In view of the same, this Court does not deem it a fit case to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. As such, this petition stands dismissed. The Bail Application stands disposed of.
