Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3517 of 2015 (3) dt.21-05-2015 2/2 treatment she died on 09.04.2012.
Submission is of false implication and that during investigation witnesses Shobhakant Mishra, Rajo Mandal and Gita Devi vide paragraphs- 6 and 7 of the case diary have stated that daughter of the informant was burnt herself and the in-laws tried their best to get her treated and recovered but in vain.
