Justice Bagchi made the observation during the course of hearing.Mondal's counsel and senior advocate, Kapil Sibal, pleaded for his client's bail indicating that two other prime accused in the cattle smuggling scam namely Emanul Haque and Border Security Force (BSF) commandant Satish Kumar have already granted bails in the case.Thereafter, Justice Bagchi observed that it is a fact that the petitioner in the case, that is Anubrata Mondal, is more influential than those who have been granted bails. "One judge has complained about receiving threats in the matter. The Central Bureau of Investigation has informed the court that a prime witness in the matter has gone missing.
