There was a quarrel between Gajendra and Chetan over some trivial matter, due to which Chetan Sahu and his family members including the present applicant started abusing the complainant with obscene words and assaulted him with hands, fists and sticks. When his friend Gajendra Sahu came to intervene, accused Chetan Sahu assaulted him with a wooden plank on his head as a result of which he died.
