Case No. 517 of 2020 which was lodged against the accused persons for kidnapping and murder of father of informant.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case due to enmity. Though this petitioner is alleged to have assaulted one Tetri devi but there is no injury report on record to substantiate the allegation of assault. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is not accused in Barhara P.S. Case No. 517 of 2020, as such he has no concern with the outcome of the case . As a matter of fact, co-accused Vikash Yadav earlier lodged a case bearing Barhara P.S. Case No. 291 of 2023 against brother of informant for the murder of father of co-accused Anku Yadav and this petitioner had also lodged a case bearing Barhara P.S. Case No. 220 of 2021 for attempting murder of the mother of the co-accused Vikash Yadav and the present case is nothing but an attempt to hold back the petitioner and others from proceeding in the abovementioned case .
