2. Petitioner is accused in a case registered for the offences under Sections 302/201/120-B/34 of the Penal Code. He is named in the First Information Report as suspect. It is said that petitioner and two others had come to the residence of the informant to accompany him to the market, three days thereafter dead body was recovered from a drain. Counsel submits that from the post mortem report of the deceased, it appears that he was done to death by causing strangulation in previous 24 hours.
