PAWAN KUMAR vs STATE OF BIHAR — 175/2026

The Principal District and Sessions Judge, Purnea, rejected the bail petition of Pawan Kumar, who is accused of murdering his wife Seema Kumari through strangulation, allegedly due to dowry harassment. The court found the allegations against the petitioner to be of serious and heinous nature, noting his confessional statement admitting the death by strangulation and subsequent disposal of the body by burning and throwing it in a river, making bail unsuitable given the gravity of charges and ongoing investigation.
