The Court of Special Judge NIA Manipur has on Thursday granted bail to one Md Islauddin who was arrested in connection with the explosion of an IED fitted SUV at Kwakta along Tiddim Road on June 21, 2023 .
Three persons were injured in the incident.
Md Islauddin was arrested by a team of NIA from Kwakta on October 19 after his name was revealed by another accused Md Noor Hussain who was arrested on October 16 .
The bail application was approved after the accused executed Rs 1 lakh PR bond and a surety.
Md Islauddin (26), s/o Md Jaheruddin of Kwakta Ward number 9 was produced before the Court.
The defence counsel submitted that the accused has given his statement under Section 164 of CrPC before the Magistrate and he is ready to become an approver.
The Special PP of the NIA, on the other hand, submitted that there is no objection to the prayer of the accused to declare him as approver but prayed for rejecting the bail application till the completion of the trial.
The Court after hearing both the parties and after going through the relevant documents observed that granting bail to the accused will not be disadvantageous to the trial.
The Court granted bail to Md Islauddin.
