The deceased is one Amar Jagtap who was assaulted by a sword. There was an unlawful assembly carrying several weapons. As far as present applicant is concerned, he did not assault the deceased. The allegation against him is that he was standing outside and prevented some witnesses from entering into the office when the crime was committed.
