The petitioner was found to have accompanied the victim and the co-accused immediately prior to the murder. CCTV footages show gait pattern of the petitioner and has been sent for forensic examination. Reports are awaited. Considering the material on record connecting the petitioner to the alleged offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. The application for bail is disposed of.
