19th May, 2016 and 20th May, 2016. On that night, the Applicant was in the company of one Pratik Hake. They wanted money for making payment for beer. The deceased was an ex-army man and he was not known to the present Applicant and Pratik. In spite of that, they virtually tried to rob him by asking him to give money. They snatched and took away ATM card of the deceased and they wanted to collect money by using the ATM card. The deceased first refused to give the number and then he gave the number. The allegations are made that the witness Avinash was asked to collect the money by using ATM card. They tried to use the ATM card but the number given by the deceased was found to be incorrect and so they could not collect the money. When witness returned and informed accordingly to Pratik, assault was made by Pratik by using sharp weapon. The allegations are made against the present Applicant that he also took part in the assault. The spot was left when said person was dead. Threats were given to the witnesses and they were warned not to disclose the incident to anybody. These persons had poured petrol on the face of the deceased and had set fire to it to see that his face is destroyed and nobody is in position to identify him.
