21.08.2026 Court No.551 Item No.12 ssi CRM (A) 2482 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Rajarhat Police Station Case No. 131 of 2026 dated 12.05.2026 under Sections 108/316(2)/61(2) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Dipankar Sardar @ Babusona & another. …. Petitioners Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. S. Saha …for the petitioners Mr. Sagar Saha Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay …for the State 1. Upon hearing the learned advocate for the petitioners as well as the learned advocate for the State and on perusal of materials in the case diary, it transpires that the petitioners are the parents of a minor girl with whom the victim had a relationship. It has been alleged in the First Information Report that the present petitioners as well as their minor daughter used to torture the victim in various ways. They used to make various demands from the victim. The victim could not meet such demands which drove the victim to commit suicide by hanging. 2. Learned advocate appearing on behalf of the State has drawn my attention to the statements of witnesses recorded under Section 180 of the BNSS as well as the 183 of the BNSS. Such statements contained allegations that the present petitioners as well as their minor daughter used to make demands for which the victim committed suicide. 2 3. Learned advocate for the petitioners has further submitted that such suicide was committed by the victim in presence of his friends. The autopsy surgeon conducting the post mortem examination has opined that the death of the victim was caused due to the effects of hanging. The dead body contained one non-continuous pressure abrasion (ligature mark). 4. As to how far the present petitioners are responsible for abetting the commission of suicide by the victim is to be considered at the trial after considering the evidence to be adduced on behalf of the prosecution. 5. In such circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner no.1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. 7. The application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 8. CRM (A) 2482 of 2026 is, thus, disposed of. 9. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
