It is further alleged that on 20.08.2024, informant received information that his sister and niece were missing and on the next day, the dead body of his sister and niece were recovered. Informant suspects that all the F.I.R. named accused persons, including these petitioners, committed murder of sister and niece of informant due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry.
4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. Petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case merely because Petitioner No. 1 happens to be cousin father-in-law, Petitioner No. 2 happens to be fatherin-law and Petitioner No. 3 happens to be younger brother-inlaw of the deceased. Petitioners are separate in mess and property and have got no concern with the affairs of the deceased and her husband. Informant is not an eye witness of the alleged occurrence. Thrust of accusation is against husband of deceased who is already in custody since 26.08.2024. Petitioners claim clean antecedents.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
