It appears from the prosecution report that an occurrence took place in which a student of an upgraded middle school was stabbed to death. This was the impetus for many persons of the locality to assemble at the place of the occurrence. The petitioner is also stated to be one of them. The accused persons are alleged to have indulged in various acts of violence including damaging the public property.

His implication in the present case is, therefore, only because of misconception of the local police.
