1. The petitioner is an accused in the case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 140(3), 351(3) & 311 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He has been implicated in this case merely on suspicion as well as the alleged confessional statement of co-accused Uttam Kumar.
