Summary
The petitioner, Vimal Yadav, was arrested in connection with FIR No. 72 of 2025 alleging that he and others opened fire at an informant’s house, injuring the informant’s daughter, to coerce the informant to withdraw a prior case. He was charged under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 352, 351, 351(2), 109(1) and 3(5) of the Indian Penal Code and has been in custody since 5 April 2025.
