The allegation against the petitioner is that being a police officer he has demanded money from poor cattle owner i.e. the informant of this case. 4. The learned Addl.Public prosecutor has raised serious objection stating that if the petitioner is insulated by an order of pre-arrest bail, investigation will be adversely affected. There are incriminating materials in the Case Diary that the petitioner initiated extortion and his subordinates have demanded money from the poor cattle owner. 5. The leaned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already been suspended and he will not be able influence the investigation. 6. I have considered the submissions at the Bar with circumspection. 7. I have also scrutinized the Case Diary. 8. The merits of this case are not brought to the fore.
