(S. Banerjee) And In the matter of: Esrail Sk.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee Mr. D. Samanta ... for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kumar Dutta Mr. Nirupam Dhali ... for the State The petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated. The petitioner is an employee. His PayTM account was misutilized. Learned advocate for the State draws the attention of the court to the materials in the Case Diary. Police filed charge-sheet.

Complicity of the petitioner before us appears from the materials in the Case Diary with regard to demand of ransom and money trial.

Notwithstanding the filing of charge-sheet, given materials in the Case Diary implicating the petitioner in

the incident of demand for ransom, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, CRM(A) 5191 of 2023 is rejected. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
