It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. They have committed no offence. No one is the eye witness of the alleged occurrence. Only on the basis of suspicion, their names have been dragged in the present case. The entire allegation hinges around suspicion.
