It is alleged that the accused persons had used that Bolero for terrorizing the people in the name of police personnel and had extorted money from them. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that petitioner has been made accused only on the basis of suspicion. It was further submitted that petitioner was neither arrested at the place of occurrence. It was further submitted that similarly situated co-accused person has been granted Bail by this Court earlier. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
