It is the contention of learned counsel for applicant that the accused applicant has been falsely implicated in the FIR dated 25.06.2026 lodged by the informant Sachin against six named accused persons including the accused/applicant with the allegation that the accused had taken Rs. 4.5 Lakhs for providing him service in Army. Neither the service was assured nor the money was returned back. Later on, when the informant asked for return of money, the co-accused Somdutt Pal has opened fire but he has miraculously escaped. The allegation against the accused/applicant is that the accused/applicant used to stay along with the co-accused Arvind Yadav against whom the allegation is of taking money. The accused/applicant has criminal history of three cases, in one case final report is submitted, in other two cases, he is in jail. The accused applicant is languishing in jail since 15.07.2026. The investigation is continuing and he is cooperating in the investigation. He seeks to be enlarged on bail. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Anuj Bajpai Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
