Subsequently, on 25.03.2024, the informant lodged a missing person report at Police Station Hariyaion regarding his brother’s disappearance. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and his case stands on a different footing from that of co-accused Madan Gupta. Except for the alleged recovery of a danda and the dead body, purportedly made on the joint pointing out of the applicant and the co-accused from an open field, there is no other incriminating material against the applicant. It is further submitted that the case rests entirely on circumstantial evidence, and the chain of circumstances is incomplete. 4. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the complainant have opposed the bail prayer, contending that the cause of death, as per the post-mortem report, is asphyxia resulting from antemortem strangulation, and the applicant has committed the offence.
