The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 352, 384, 385, 386/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per prosecution, the informant received a phone call from the petitioner who told him that he received Rs. 50,000/- to kill the informant and his family members then he would have to pay Rs. 1,50,000/- as rangdari otherwise they would be killed.

The petitioner demanded the remaining amount and threatened to shoot the informant and kidnap the informant's son if the remaining amount was not paid. Thereafter, the informant family informed the police who

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has clean antecedent and has falsely been implicated in this case. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. The mobile number used for extorting the informant does not belong to the petitioner. Petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 06.07.2022. Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer of regular bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Bahera P.S. Case No. 293 of 2022, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-I, Benipur, Darbhanga.
