It is alleged that from the time of shifting to the new house, one Banothu Ravi (petitioner No.1) and his family used to quarrel with the family of the complainant and was harassing mentally at the time of taking drinking water. On 15.05.2019, when the informant came home and washed his hands near tap, the petitioner came there and abused him, assaulted him with iron rod and when he tried to escape, he got injuries on his forehead and in the meanwhile when his wife interfered, the petitioners and their daughter attacked on the wife of the informant, knowing that she is a pregnant. They assaulted her and kicked on her stomach.
