Chandigarh, June 24
A local court has granted bail to one of the accused, Harshdeep, alias Monu, arrested in connection with the Sector 38 firing incident. Harshdeep, along with four other accused, was arrested on April 10.
The case was registered against the accused on the complaint of a Sector 38 resident. The complainant had reported that some miscreants smashed the windowpanes of his Tata Safari and his neighbour’s car, which was parked near his house, on April 8, 2021.
The counsel, who appeared on behalf of the accused, argued that the allegations mentioned in the FIR as well as in the challan were totally false and frivolous. The petitioner had not committed any offence. The assistant public prosecutor strongly opposed the bail.
After hearing the arguments, the court granted bail to the accused.
The police had registered a case against the accused under Sections 147, 149, 336,427, 506 and 307 of the IPC and Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act at the Maloya police station.
