Gone through the materials available on the record. From the record, it transpires that the deceased at the relevant time was in company of the petitioner along with Shambhu and so, it was upon the petitioner along with Shambhu to have explained how the deceased sustained injury. Being deficient on that very score, for the present, does not justify the prayer for bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
