Sumit Sofat, a Ludhiana-based doctor, who is presently lodged in Ambala jail in connection with an attempt to murder case, has once again moved the court for seeking bail on health grounds.

Earlier, his regular bail application was dismissed by Additional District and Sessions Judge Ritu Garg on October 25.

The court, while acting on his bail application, has issued notice to the police to file their reply by the next week. Sofat, in his earlier application, had stated that as per law if someone had given false information to the police then only the police could lodge case under Section 182 of the IPC for providing false information.

He had further stated that after finding the complaint false, the police could not slap the same sections against the applicant.

However, the public prosecutor on the other hand had stated that the police had arrested the accused doctor after putting very serious efforts for about one year. He had further added that the accused was very clever in nature and was involved in many criminal incidents in the past also and sought the dismissal of the application.

After getting a tip off the police had arrested Sofat, a resident of Heera Nagar (Ludhiana), near Hotel Sunbeam in Sector 22, Chandigarh, on September 17.

Sofat was booked by the police following investigations into his complaint regarding robbery and shooting incident at Morni hills on July 19 last year. Sofat had alleged that Pashan and his two sons, Vinayak and Abhinav, with the help of their driver Ranjit and two other unidentified persons, had attacked and injured his driver Nelson, who was shot twice in the chest.

He had had also alleged that Pashan family had robbed Rs 33 lakh from his vehicle. However, the investigations had revealed that the incident was planned by the doctor himself to implicate one Ramesh Pashan and his two sons in a criminal case.
