Petitioner is in custody since 29.12.2008 in Rohtas P.S. Case No. 136 of 2008 which was registered under sections 342, 386 and 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. As per the allegation made in the FIR the mobile in question, from which ransom was demanded, was recovered from the possession of the petitioner when the police carried out the investigation of the case.
