BNS Section 108 | Mere Call Logs Without Instigation Evidence Insufficient for Arrest: Chhattisgarh HC Grants Anticipatory Bail

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that call records alone, without proof of direct instigation or coercion, cannot justify arrest under BNS Section 108 for abetment of suicide. The judgment underscores the need for substantive evidence linking the accused's actions to the victim's suicide, setting a precedent for bail jurisprudence in similar cases.
