Justice Yarenjungla Longkumer held that the Sessions Court, Yupia, had ignored crucial evidence while granting bail in November 2025, calling the order “perverse” and legally flawed.
The victim died by suicide on October 23, 2025, at his rented residence in Lekhi village under Naharlagun. The victim’s father had moved the High Court alleging mental harassment and exploitation by the accused, as mentioned in suicide notes.
The Special Investigation Team informed the court that forensic analysis confirmed the suicide notes were in the handwriting of the deceased. The High Court observed that granting bail at an early stage could derail the investigation and therefore set aside the earlier order, while allowing the accused to apply for fresh bail later.
