Mr. Arup Kundu

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee
Mr. Aniket Mitra
.. for the State
The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with Bankura Police
Station Case No.312 dated 12.12.2018 under Sections 498A/302/34 of the
Indian Penal Code read with Sections 3 and 4 DP Act.
The petitioner is unrelated to the victim. According to the case made out
against the petitioner, he is supposed to have instigated the husband and the
other in-laws to inflict torture on the victim that culminated in the victim
hanging herself.
Considering the material against the petitioner as evident from the case
diary produced by the State, there may not be any need to take him into custody
at this stage as long as he cooperates with the investigation.
