The plea was filed by one Sheikh Ishrafil, who is alleged by the prosecution to be one of the main conspirators and perpetrators of the entire incident, thereby adding that he. Justice Asha Menon rejected his plea while observing that the petition appeared to be of a phishing kind, seeking anticipatory bail, in the garb of directions to the police not to harass him and his family. The police have to find out who were the perpetrators of the various offences committed on 16th April, 2022 and as a citizen of this country, it is only to be expected that while the petitioner seeks enforcement of his Fundamental Rights, he would also do his duties and help the police resolve the crime and apprehend the perpetrators," the Court said.
