....petitioners.

Ms. Manaswita Mukherjee ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Sudip Kumar ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

There are materials in the case diary implicating all the petitioners in the offences alleged.

Requirement of custodial interrogation of the petitioners cannot be overlooked.

The police complaint was lodged within two years of marriage.

In such circumstances, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

C.R.M. (A) 492 of 2023 is dismissed.
