Subsequently, due to the intervention of villagers and well-wishers of the village, the case has been compromised and a petition to that effect has been filed before the learned CJM, Bhojpur at Ara(as contained in Annexure P-4 to the petition). The petitioners are in custody since 14.11.2023 having no criminal antecedent.
