Petitioner is the 2nd accused in Crime No.1851/2014 of Attingal Police Station registered for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 450, 323, 324, 363, 342, 120B, 354 and 307 read with Section 149 IPC.

The 1st accused, a person engaged in black magic, with the active assistance of some relatives of the victim girl, who are the associates of the 1st accused, made it appear that the 1st accused had married the victim girl. In fact, no marriage was conducted. She was caught hold of
BA.1405/2015 : 2 :
and taken away forcibly and for five years, she was confined and the 1st accused committed rape on her. However, she wanted to escape from the clutches of the 1st accused and ultimately, she could manage to escape and she went to her mother and stayed along with her. The victim is aged 26, whereas the 1st accused is aged around 60. The 1st accused wanted to abduct the victim again. For abducting the girl, he engaged a quotation gang leader, who is the 10th accused. Accused Nos.11, 12 and 13 are also members of the gang of which the 10th accused is the leader. They conspired together and made a master plan and by using a rented Xylo car driven by A11, the victim was taken to A1 and ultimately, she was taken to Chennai. In that process, her mother was severely attacked, her modesty was outraged and serious injuries were caused to her with a view to committing her murder. The mother was running from pillar to post to get the whereabouts of the victim. Ultimately, she had approached this Court and on account of the
BA.1405/2015 : 3 :
intervention of a Division Bench of this Court, she was traced out from a lodge at Chennai and she was rescued. The petitioner was also present in the lodge, where the victim was illegally confined by A1. It seems that the petitioner was hand in gloves with the 1st accused in committing all the offences. The petitioner has been in custody for the period from 31.12.2014 onwards. 4.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.
5.
The allegations against the petitioner are very grave and serious. The investigation is still going on. Considering all the above, I am of the view that the petitioner is not entitled to be enlarged on bail. In the result, this bail application is dismissed.
