The Delhi High Court has denied bail to a man accused of killing the husband of a woman he was in love with by pushing him in front of a moving train, saying the crime was committed in a brutal manner.

The court said the heinousness of a crime is a very important factor that has to be kept in mind while deciding whether to grant or deny bail to an accused.

“This court is of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the petitioner has committed the offence. The petitioner is accused of committing murder in a brutal fashion. If convicted, the petitioner is likely to be sentenced to imprisonment for life or even death,” Justice Subramonium Prasad said.
