As per the prosecution case, all the Accused along with their family members were working as labourers at a brick-kiln near village Wangewadi, Ghoti, Taluka-Igatpuri, District-Nashik. The deceased was in a relationship outside of marriage with the wife of Accused No.2. They eloped and the accused persons searched for them and brought them back at the brick-kiln. Due to the said relationship of the deceased and the wife of Accused No. 2, all the other Accused assaulted the deceased and the wife of Accused No.2 as a result of which the deceased succumbed to the injuries sufferred in the said assault.

It is the submission of Ms. Shinde, learned APP that the Applicant has assaulted on the private parts of the deceased, due to which he died.

However, this is a case where the Charge-sheet is already filed. The trial is unlikely to conclude any time soon and is likely to take a considerably long time. The present Applicant does not have any criminal antecedents. The incident occurred as the deceased was having a relationship outside of marriage with the wife of Accused No.2 and both of them had eloped.
