Dear all,
One of my friend has been accused under sections including 420, 467, 468,406, 471, 120b. He is currently under judicial custody as his anticipatory bail was withdrawn from HC. All of his subsequent bail applications were rejected as the co-accused is on run (out of India right now). It has been 7 months since the charge-sheet was filed. But the trial has not yet started. Now the co-accused who is on run is blackmailing his family members so that he (the main accused) confesses & says that the co-accused is not involved in anyway. Otherwise the co-accused is going to defame his family members in every possible ways by using his money & contacts. He is doing everything to mentally torture the accused's family members.
Can anybody plz suggest how should this situation be handled? What steps can be taken?
