And In Re : Sumanta Das @ Abhi ..... petitioner Mr. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhuri ... for the petitioner Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee, learned APP Mr. Santanu Chatterjee ... for the State Let affidavit-of-service filed in Court be kept with record. Heard the learned Counsels for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Victim deposed she is a minor and had been blackmailed by the petitioner by uploading her video on social media site. Trial is in progress. Under such circumstances we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
