The first information report prima facie reveals that there was a 1/3

collision between a motorcycle and a Maruti Zen car. Pratik Waykar, the rider of the motor cycle had sustained injuries in the said accident. There was altercation between the driver of the Maruti Zen and Pratik and Amol Waykar, the rider/pillion rider of the motor cycle. It is alleged that the first informant had intervened and thereafter the driver of Maruti Zen had agreed to provide medical treatment to Pratik. However, instead of taking him to the hospital, he took him to Warulwadi Chowk. The first information report prima facie reveals that the driver of the Maruti Zen called the applicant and Bankar and that they assaulted the first informant and Pratik Waykar. 4.

The records prima facie indicates that the applicant was involved in inflicting an injury on Amol Waykar. He was arrested on 11/07/2018 and is in custody since then. The weapon allegedly used by the applicant has already been recovered and the statements of the witnesses had already been recorded.
