Counsel for the applicant further submitted that in the statement given by the complainant before the Trial Court, the complainant and other family members of the deceased were present at the time of last rituals of his niece, i.e., the deceased and he lodged the FIR only on the ground of suspicion as the applicant and his family were not talking with them in a proper manner.
