The prosecution alleged that two persons were killed and that the petitioner was in constant contact with the shooters during the crime. The petitioner has been in custody since 4 October 2025 and also faces three other charges, including two Rangdari offences and one murder. Considering the seriousness of the alleged offences, the petitioner’s alleged involvement, and his criminal antecedents, the court was not inclined to grant bail. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed.
