Abhishek Kumar was the solver who appeared in place of Mr. Gaurav Aditya. According to the prosecution’s own admitted case, the applicant has no role in the alleged incident. Learned counsel has drawn the Court’s attention to Parcha No. 2 of the case diary, wherein the investigating officer, while arresting the applicant, himself observed that the applicant has been implicated merely on the basis of apprehension. The alleged recovery does not support or corroborate the prosecution’s allegations.
