He stated that his mother was residing with his brother. Meanwhile, Degavath Sakremma had repeatedly shared her sufferings with the complainant, stating that the accused persons were harassing her and physically assaulting her for money. On 24.06.2025, the complainant was informed by his neighbor, Degavath Sharadamma, that Degavath Sakremma had hanged herself from the top rod of an APPE auto parked in the old house shed. The complainant immediately rushed to the scene and found his mother's body
lying on the ground. Upon enquiry, one Manemma narrated that, on 23.06.2025, the accused persons had fought with Degavath Sakremma, beat her, and abused her with curses, wishing for her death. Deeply distressed by their words and actions, Degavath Sakremma took the extreme step and died by suicide.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence, and that he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submitted that the petitioner was arrested on 30.06.2025, and that the material part of the investigation has been completed, including the examination of 14 witnesses. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition.
