The brief facts of the case are that on 06.09.2025, the de-facto complainant lodged a report before the police stating that on 05.09.2025, in the evening during the immersion procession of Lord Vinayaka in their village, around 6:30 PM, the complainant's nephews, Sai Kumar and Harshavardhan, were watching the procession near the Shivalayam temple. At that time, two men from the village, Erra Naveen/A1 and Badempalli Naveen/A2, threatened them using abusive language. When the nephews informed the complainant's elder brother, Narsimulu, they all went immediately to question A1 and A2. The petitioners submit that the allegations against them have arisen due to old enmity between the parties. It is alleged that the complainant and his elder brother were attacked near a village procession by certain individuals, including A1, who allegedly stabbed the complainant's elder brother Narsimulu with a knife. Further, it is stated that A2 struck the complainant on his head with a broken beer bottle, causing bleeding injuries, and others joined in

assaulting them. The petitioners deny any involvement in the said incident and submit that the allegations are motivated by past grudges and misunderstandings. It is further submitted that the complainant and his brother were treated at the Government Hospital, Kodangal for their injuries. Hence, he requested to take necessary action. Basing on the said complaint, the police registered a case for the above said offences.
