After having undergone one-day police custody, he was produced before the court on Monday. Refusing to grant a prayer by the police for further custody of the youth, the court allowed the man's prayer for bail, holding that no incriminating object has been recovered from him and it could not be established that he had any bad intention. Judge Mukhopadhyay observed that this incident should act as an eye-opener in ensuring foolproof security so that there is no such breach in future.
