¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. The informant did not name the petitioners or any other person or even did not mention the cause of death. In fact, the deceased went to steal the tractor of the petitioners and was caught though his associates fled away from the spot. The son of the informant was tied with a Tempo and his family members were informed from the mobile phone of the deceased, who stated that they would come there in the morning. While the son of the informant was kept tied with the Tempo, the villagers came to know about such act in the morning and they gave sound thrashing to the sone of the informant, who subsequently died. There is no eye witness who might have seen the petitioners assaulting the son of the informant. If the son of the informant died due to assault, the petitioners have no role as he was assaulted by the villagers. The petitioners are in custody since 15.12.2024 and charge-sheet has been submitted. The petitioners are having clean antecedent.
