The petitioner, namely, Sewali Boro @ Sewali Patgiri Boro, wife of late Monoj Boro, resident of House No.26, Birkuchi, Police Station-Noonmati, Guwahati, District-Kamrup(M) has filed this application under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 on 04.03.2025 praying for her release on bail in Dispur Police Station Case No. 199/2024 registered under Sections 420/406 IPC, Page No.# 2/4 corresponding to G.R. No.1354/2024, in which she was arrested on 02.02.2025 and is in custody since then. 3. As per the FIR dated 07.03.2024 lodged by the informant before the Dispur Police Station, the case is that, the petitioner on 22.11.2023 took money amounting to Rs.5,00,000/- from one Pompi Boro and Rs.6,00,000/- from the complainant and they provided all the relevant documents to her as she promised to give them jobs in Guwahati Refinery under the IOCL. Though, such amount was paid to her through online in her mobile phone, but she did not provide them with any appointment letters. Thereafter, whenever, the complainant and his friend tried to contact the petitioner, she did not receive their phone calls.

The case diary also indicates that the petitioner received certain amount of money from the complainant and his friend in her Bank Account. However, considering her detention in custody since 02.02.2025, the Court is of the view that further custodial detention of the petitioner is not warranted for investigation of said Dispur P.S.
