The Jharkhand High Court on Tuesday granted bail to six accused in the killing of Tabrez Ansari in June. Justice R Mukhopadhyay granted bail to the six after their advocate AK Sahani informed the court that neither their names were mentioned in the FIR registered in connection with the death of Ansari nor the main accused Papu Mandal had implicated them during interrogation by the police.
The advocate told the court that the six, Bhimsen Mandal, Chamu Nayak, Mahesh Mahali, Satyanarayan Nayak, Madan Nayak and Vikram Mandal had been in jail since June 25.

The police reached the spot the next morning and took Ansari to jail on the basis of a complaint lodged by the villagers, the police officer said.
When Ansari’s condition deteriorated in jail, he was taken to a hospital in Seraikela-Kharsawan where he was diagnosed with multiple injuries, he said.
Later, he was referred to the Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur where he died on June 22, the police officer said.
