The bail application moved by the accused Rajesh Kumar was rejected by the Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate Ist Class (Sub-Judge) Jammu, observing that granting bail at this crucial juncture of case would be giving new life to the applicant(accused) who may indulge in activities amounting to the destruction of evidence. Besides, the fact that some members of the gang are still out and absconding from the reach of police is a factor worth consideration. The matter was vigorously contested by the Prosecution and Crime Branch Jammu before the Hon’ble Court for rejection of the bail.
