They also damaged the motorcycle of the informant and snatched Rs. 735/- from him. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence in the manner alleged. The specific allegation of assault is against the other accused persons, and the only allegation against the petitioner is that he slapped the informant and tore the uniform of the chaukidar. The petitioner has been made accused due to local politics. 5. Regards being had to the submissions made by the parties, taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is specifically named in the FIR with the allegation that he assaulted the Government public servant, i.e., a chaukidar, during course of his duty, and the fact that an attack on police team while on official duty under mines the safety and security of law enforcement agency.
