The name of the petitioner has sprung up in the confessional statement of the coaccused, Md. Mokim @ Mokim. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. The petitioner has no concern with the alleged offence. The co-accused person has already been granted regular bail by this court vide order dated 28.06.2024 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 1072/2024. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as stated in para 3 of the bail petition. The petitioner is in custody since 11.03.2025.

As per the post-mortem report of the deceased, the cause of death is hemorrhage and shock as a result of stab injuries.
