According to the police, the Jalpaiguri Circuit Bench of Calcutta High Court announced his sentence on February 23 last year on charges of illegal entry. Since then he has been in Kolkata's Presidency Jail.

But as his physical condition deteriorated in jail, Sohail applied for bail in December last year. Later, the court granted him bail on December 8 of the same year on the condition that he attend Mekhliganj police station every week and cannot go outside the police station area.

The police also said that instead of coming to the police station after getting bail, he informed through an e-mail that he had to go outside the police station area for better treatment due to his deteriorating physical condition. In this regard, he also e-mailed some documents related to the treatment of Cooch Behar District Sadar Hospital to the police station. He has not been found since then.

Sohail Rana tried to escape to a sister in Nepal via Siliguri after illegally entering India after the E-Orange case. Mekhligonj in Cooch Behar is just a few kilometers away from the Siliguri Corridor that borders Bhutan-Nepal and Bangladesh. The police believe that they may try to escape to Nepal again by taking advantage of the open Indo-Nepal border.
