On 05.04.2022 at about 7:35 P.M., Chatra sadar police on the basis of confidential information that some criminals had assembled in Kutera village and were making preparation for committing dacoity, raided the place of occurrence and apprehended several persons and firearms were recovered from their possession.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petitioner is named in the F.I.R., but he was not apprehended at the place of occurrence. It was further submitted that name of the petitioner has transpired in confession of co-accused persons.
