After hearing hue and cry, the people from neighbourhood rushed to the spot. It is alleged that while threatening to kill, the accused persons went to their home. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent. In the statement of the complainant and the eye-witnesses, general role of causing injury has been assigned to all the four accused persons. He submits that only one independent witness Mohd. Ayub Khan has assigned the role of causing injury by lathi to the present applicant.

It is also submitted that the cause of death is septicemic shock as a result of infection in both lungs associated with coma.
