In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Nabagram PS case no. 154 of 2021 dated 21.6.2021 under sections 420/406/409/467/468/471/120B IPC And In Re : Ansar Ali @ Md. Ansar Ali …….. petitioner Mr. K K Basu Md. J U Firdous …… for the petitioner Mr. R D Nandy Ms. Sonali Das …… for the State
We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses and other documents prima facie show involvement of the petitioner in the conspiracy of inducing unemployed youth to part with money on the false promise of giving government employment.
Keeping in mind the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein and as his prayer for bail was rejected earlier, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.
