The petitioner has no concern with the alleged offence. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as stated in para 3 of the bail petition. The petitioner is in custody since 13.01.2025.

Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the bail petition of the petitioner and submitted that the specific allegation against the petitioner and the co-accused persons is that they assaulted the informant's brother brutally, and due to the assault, he died during the course of treatment.
