2. The case of the prosecution is that on 18.03.2026 at 6.00 AM at Chetpet community hall, when the defacto complainant was taking his laundry clothes in auto, four accused persons suddenly intercepted him, threatened him with knife point and snatched a sum of Rs.300/- from him. Hence, the complaint was registered.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that the petitioner was arrested and is in judicial custody from 09.04.2026. Hence, seeks for bail.
