According to prosecution case, on 21.10.2025, Golu Kumar reported to Didarganj Police Station that on the night of 20.10.2025, he, his brother Akshay Kumar, and neighbour Raushan Kumar objected to some persons gambling in their village. This led to a violent altercation where several Patna High Court CR. MISC.

The fight stopped after villagers intervened, and the injured were treated at a government hospital. The next day, while submitting a complaint at the police station, the accused again abused them, and Aman Kumar allegedly threatened them with a pistol. The informant’s side managed to snatch the pistol, after which the accused fled. The informant expressed fear, and the police later arrived and took possession of the weapon and a mobile phone. 4.

It has further been submitted that the petitioners undertakes not to indulge in any offence of similar nature in the future and that, upon verification, if it is found that the allegations are true, liberty may be granted to the Police officials/ informant to take steps for cancellation of the bail bonds. 5. Learned APP for the State as well as learned counsel Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22321 of 2026(2) dt.16-04-2026 3/4 for the informant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail application and on being confronted with the regard to the nature of injury sustained by the informant, learned counsel for the informant has admitted the factual position of the injury on record and he submits that the petitioners may be directed to maintain peace and harmony. 6.
