hahe has no criminal antecedent and he has remained in custody since 22.12.2019 and he is ready to co-operate in investigation.

Heard learned APP also.

In view of above facts and circumstances and considering the seriousness of the allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, once the charge has been framed in this case, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
