The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has nothing to do with the alleged crime. It is submitted that alleged assault is attributed to the co-accused Sunny Bhosale. It is submitted that nothing is to be recovered at the instance of the present applicant and therefore there is no need of custodial interrogation.
