Subsequently, after lapse of five days present complaint case was filed merely raising suspicion against the petitioners though the petitioners have no any motive to kill. It is also submitted that the learned Magistrate, after conclusion of enquiry, did not find the case true against the petitioners but by order dated 17.06.2016 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, West Champaran, Bettiah in Cr. Revision No. 254 of 2015, the said order was set aside.
