The informant went to the house of the co-accused Deepak Kumar then the father and younger brother of the co-accused Deepak Kumar abused and assaulted the informant.

The petitioner No. 1 is father of the co-accused Deepak Kumar. The petitioner No. 2 is uncle of the co-accused Deepak Kumar. The main allegation is against co-accused Deepak Kumar and the petitioners are made accused in this case only because the petitioners are father and uncle of the coaccused Deepak Kumar.
