Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 22.10.2025, between 8:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., the applicant along with the other co-accused persons, allegedly abused and assaulted Kailash Verma and dragged him to Gaura Chowra of the village, where he and Prakash Sahu were tied and beaten with sticks, fists and kicks. It is further alleged that when the complainant and his father attempted to intervene, they were also assaulted. Thereafter, Kailash Verma sustained injuries in the incident and subsequently succumbed to the same during treatment. Based on the said report, the police registered the offence against the applicant, leading to his arrest. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant- Anshu Sahu is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. He submits that the applicant was not present at the time of the alleged incident and no seizure has been made from him. Lastly, he submits that the applicant is in jail since 24.10.2025, therefore, he may be released on bail. 6. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the FIR was lodged against the applicant- Anshu Sahu along with three other accused persons and all of them are alleged to have caused the death of deceased- Kailash Verma, therefore, he prays for dismissal of the application. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the nature and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 3 9. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 is rejected. 10. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Radhakishan Agrawal) Judge Priyanka
