Whereupon all the three accused persons used to extend threatening to her on mobile and on 19.08.2019 in the mid night arriving at her house they tried to misbehave with her. Appellant Sanjeet Kumar pointing pistol on his temple asked her to call back her daughter. It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellants that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place.

As a matter of fact, daughter of the informant was in love with co-accused Dhanji Singh who is the neighbour of the informant and resultantly informant sent her daughter to Bangalore and as the appellants happen to be friend of said Dhanji Singh, she has falsely implicated the appellants in the case along with said Dhanji Singh. The allegation levelled against the appellants is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. There is delay of 2 days in lodging the F.I.R. without assigning any plausible explanation for the aforesaid delay. Appellants have been languishing in custody since 30.08.2019.
