The Karnataka High Court on Friday refused bail to Abdul Karim Rehman Qureshi, a resident of Mumbai, in a case of human trafficking and murder of one Surinderpal Singh detected in Ramanagaram district. “...the materials clearly and prima facie show the involvement of the petitioner in a heinous crime and about conspiracy” observed Justice B.A. Three other accused, Harminder Singh alias Shelly, hailing from Punjab; Parsh Ram alias Parsha and Sumit alias Mittu (both from Haryana) were denied bail by the High Court last month. Later, the gang would illegally confine the youth in Bengaluru and extort huge amounts of money from their family members by issuing threats. The prosecution has told the court that there are 10 other cases against the members of the syndicate, and their release on bail would hamper investigations.
