It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused-Pratush Kumar and Santosh Ghosh.

It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person with similar allegation has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide
order dated 16.06.2026 in B.A. No.5320 of 2026. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.
The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Rajmahal, in connection with Rajmahal P.S.
