Also heard Mr. D.P Goswami, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State of Page No.# 2/3 Assam. 2. This is an application u/s 483 of the BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of bail to the petitioners namely, (1) Injamamul Haque and (2) Mohan Bora, who were shown arrested on 07.11.2025 in connection with CID P.S Case No. 20/2025 u/s 61(2)/329(3)/308(5)/111(2)(b)/189(2)/351(3) of BNS, 2023. 3. The allegations as reflected in the FIR is that on 28.10.2025, the complainant Sri Hirak Jyoti Saikia, Inspector of Police, CID, Assam lodged an FIR at CID Police Station, Assam and stating that based on reliable information and case record of various districts of Assam, the accused persons namely (1) Rantu Paniphukan (2) Bikash Baruah (alias Bikash Asom) (3) Aditya Sagar Paniphukon (4) Sujit Dutta (5) Manoj Deka (alias Manoj Asom) (6) Jayanta Sarma (alias Jayanta Asom) (7) Tapan Sarma (alias Tapan Asom) (8) Along with other unidentified Members and Associates of Bir Lachit Sena (BLS) wherein the complainant alleged that in the name of Bir Lachit Sena (BLS) a self-styled Socio-Cultural Group operating in the State of Assam the FIR named accused persons claiming to champion Assamese cultural and nationalist causes, but in recent years it has systematically engaged in coercive "donation" drives targeting Businesses. Under the pretext of raising Funds for socio-cultural Events, BLS Members have been forcefully collecting money from Traders and Entrepreneurs across Assam, employing intimidation and violence. These demands are essentially extortion as they are not voluntary contributions but payments extracted under threat. 4. Mr. S.M Abdullah P, learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that there are no specific allegations against the present petitioners who have been shown arrested in the present case. On 07.11.2025, they were earlier arrested in connection with Dispur P.S Case No. 875 of 2025 u/s 140(2)/3(5)/308(2) BNS, 2023. Page No.# 3/3 5. Case Dairy, as called for, has been received. 6. Upon perusal of the same, I find sufficient incriminating materials, specific to the present accused persons, and it appears that the petitioners are part of an organized racket involving extortion of money from various businessmen. 7. Considering the above as well as the nature of allegations and the stage of the investigation, the prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
