FIR was registered at the instance of Chhotu Ram Thakur @ Phully Thakur. It was stated that his nephew Gurdeep Singh @ Sonu Thakur was employed with DTDC Courier International Services at Nihal Singh Wala.

Somebody had kept the blast material under the brick. There was an extra judicial confession made by the petitioner before Sukhminder Singh, retired Home Guard Personnel. 3. The bail is sought on the grounds that the petitioner was not specifically named in the FIR; no recovery is to be made; the petitioner is in custody for more than 8 months; the challan stands presented and the co-accused was granted bail by this Court on 8th January, 2021. 4. Learned State counsel opposes the prayer and states that there are serious allegations and on instructions from SI Gurtej Singh submitted that Gandhak (sulphur) and Sora was used as explosive material. It is submitted that during investigation it was found that the material was actually placed in front of shop of one Raju and accidentally the complainant got injured in the said explosion. 5. Considering that the petitioner is in custody for more than eight months; no recovery is to be made; investigation is complete; the name of the petitioner surfaced only in a disclosure statement and conclusion of trial would take time, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail subject to his furnishing of surety bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned. 6.
