AP Police Files Bail Cancellation Plea For Free And Fair Probe Into Abdul Salam Case

The two prime accused in the Abdul Salam mass suicide case, a bail has been granted to CI Somasekhar Reddy and HC Gangadhar despite the inclusion of serious , non-bailable sections like 306 r/w section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As the accused in question are a part of the local law enforcement machinery and are likely to hamper the investigation by threatening the witnesses, in order to ensure that justice is delivered and the accused are punished, the state administration has immediately filed a 'Bail Cancellation Petition' seeking immediate cancellation of the bail awarded to the accused based on the following grounds :

- The accused being released on bail could result in witnesses turning hostile and intimidate new witnesses who would otherwise volunteer to testify.
- The investigating authorities are in possession of incriminating evidence against the accused.
- The presence of eye-witnesses who point directly at the 2 accused.
- The bail could give the accused a chance to hamper the investigation by threatening or coercing the witnesses
- The inclusion of a serious  and non-bailable section of Abetment to Suicide ( 306 ).
- The video of the family before committing suicide , in which the family names those arrested.
