Rather, it was at the behest of one Ghanshyam that the complainant had sought help from co-accused Chittlbonia Seshagiri for getting contract for rice; since Chittlbonia Seshagiri was unable to help them out, a twisted and false version had been brought forth in the FIR in question. It has been asserted that it is essentially a civil dispute between the parties." 3.
