An FIR was lodged on 05.09.2026 by LNK (DSB) Jacky Modok of Nilambazar Police Station before the Officer-in-Charge of Nilambazar Police Station, alleging that certain persons are involved in collecting money by luring innocent victims with promises of settling their disputes.

On receipt of the FIR, the police registered Nilambazar P.S. Case No. 91/2026 under the aforementioned sections. 5.

He further submits that cases involving similar allegations have been registered at various police stations and that, in similar circumstances, a coordinate Bench of this Court has granted bail to the accused persons. He, therefore, prays for grant of bail to the accused applicant, who has been in custody since 07.09.2026. 6. Case Diary in the instant case has not yet been received. 7. Mr. Goswami, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the Case Diary should be perused. 8. Upon consideration of the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the parties, the allegations made in the FIR and the period of detention undergone by the accused applicant, this Court is of the considered opinion that further detention of the accused applicant is not warranted at this stage. 9.
