¶23

Dharmendra Sharma (all residents of Karhanibagh, Tankuppa district,) came on two motorcycles (bearing registration no. BR02AQ550) and some on foot, carrying country-made pistol in their hands, forcibly stopped his vehicle and threatened to kill him if he did not withdraw the school case. On refusal to compromise, Akash Kumar, Roshan Kumar, Virendra Kumar, Kundan Kumar, Wilson Kumar, Shubham Kumar, Sonu Kumar, Aman Kumar started firing at the uncle of the informant with country-made pistol in their hands, due to which, three bullets hit his stomach, one in the left thigh, one in the right hand, one near the right chest and three bullets hit his left hand, due to which, he was badly injured and fell down bleeding and became unconscious, considering which, I am not inclined grant regular bail to the petitioner.
