Some of the accused from Delhi and other parts of the country have been identified and the investigation is proceeding on those lines.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent further states that if the petitioner is released on bail at this juncture, there is every possibility of fleeing away from the investigation and tampering the evidence.

Hence, the petition for bail is dismissed.
