Bail application of the petitioner was earlier permitted to be dismissed as withdrawn vide B.A. No. 7150 of 2024 3. On 25.01.2024, at about 06:00 a.m., son of the informant went missing. Thereafter, on 31.01.2024, ransom call was made to the informant for releasing his son. Subsequently, the son of the informant was found murdered. It appears that the petitioner has made extra judicial confession before one Kamal Oraon relating to his involvement in the present occurrence. 4. It was submitted that the Kamal Oraon has been examined in this case and he has been declared hostile. 5. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
