Learned counsel for the applicant submits, however, it is a case in which, two persons sustained injuries and one person died but applicant was not named in the FIR and his name has been surfaced in the present matter through the statement of one alleged injured Harshit but even from his statement, it reflects, he did not assign role of causing injury to the applicant either to the deceased or to the injured Shahid and according to him co-accused Babloo and Annu @ Anurag made assault through iron rod upon the head of the deceased and thereafter co-accused Sunil Rana and Vipin Sharma caught hold him and thereafter co-accused Alok @ Akku inflicted knife injuries to him and thereafter co-accused Ankit Tiwari caused head injury to him. 4.

Per contra, learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 8. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 9. From the record, it reflects, in the alleged incident two persons sustained injuries and one person died but applicant was not named in the FIR and his name was surfaced through the statement of injured Harshit but from the statement of injured Harshit, it could not be reflected, either applicant caused injury to the deceased or to any of the injured. 10.
