Mr. Subhasis Mishra Mr. Rounak Ghosh ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Avrojyoti Das, ld. APP Mr. Urgen Lama, Mr. Supritam Nag ……for the State. 1. The petitioner prays for anticipatory bail. He says that he has been falsely implicated. There was an affair between him and the defacto complainant. When the same came to light, this false complaint has been lodged. 2. The State opposes the prayer for pre arrest bail. 3. I have seen the statement of the defacto complainant recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. She clearly narrates how she was abducted and threatened with the murder of her four year old child to persuade her to have physical relationship with the petitioner. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to allow this application. 5. CRM (A) 591 of 2026 stands dismissed. (Arijit Banerjee, J.) 2
