3. According to prosecution case, the informant, a driver of Auto Commercial (Dala body) vehicle No. BR31G2792, stated that on 13.07.2023 at about 3:10 AM, he along with Ajay Kumar, staff of vegetable trader Deepak Kumar, left for the vegetable market at Mithapur, Patna. At around 3:40 AM, near Kutubpur Chowk under Bidupur Police Station, three to four youths on two motorcycles intercepted their vehicle. Two of the youths pointed country-made pistols at them and searched

2/4 their pockets. The informant was robbed of Rs.92,010/-, while Ajay Kumar was robbed of Rs.20,000/- and a mobile phone (SIM No. 9279909475). After committing the robbery, the accused persons, aged about 20-25 years, fled towards Kutubpur Kali Temple on their motorcycles.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case and his name has transpired on the basis of confession made by apprehended co-accused persons, namely, Deepak Kumar and Nirbhay Kumar and nothing incriminating is said to have been recovered from his constructive possession rather the recovery is said to have been made from the other co-accused persons. The petitioner has one criminal antecedent which is not akin to the instant case. The petitioner is a man of means and is ready to abide by the terms and conditions in case privilege of anticipatory bail is extended in his favour.
