The FIR in connection with which the petitioner was arrested on 28.08.2026 was lodged by the victim stating inter alia that on 25.08.2026 at around 07:30 am, when he along with his son was coming by the vehicle from Saukuchi to Guwahati, another vehicle, which was driven in a very high speed caused damage to their car at the time of overtaking and that the informant and his son chased the said vehicle and stopped the same and thereafter, when they got down from the vehicle to settle the matter politely, the driver as well as the passenger of the other car assaulted his son causing grievous hurt. It was also stated that another person came at that juncture and injured his seen.

The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the informant and his son had chased the vehicle driven by the petitioner and stopped and at first, it was the informant and his son who had started the tussle with the occupant of the other car and in the tussle both sides got injured. He further submits that there was no intention on the part of the petitioner to cause hurt on the informant's son.

Mr. B. Sharma, learned Additional Public Prosecutor on perusal of the Case Diary submits that the injury on the informant's son is grievous and that his nasal bond was found to be fractured.
