Subsequently, an FIR was registered against Javed Khan and the ten others. The remaining accused had already surrendered to the court and are currently out on bail.
On Thursday, Javed Khan appeared before the additional chief judicial magistrate’s court in Kolkata and was granted bail on a personal bond.
