The complaint lodged in C.R.No.262 of 2007 by one Shri Vitthal Kamble, Police Constable, shows that at the time of the incidence there were two groups fighting amongst themselves on account of fixing of hoardings. No doubt the name of the petitioner is disclosed in a subsequent statement by the victim. However, the fact remains that the victim has implicated the petitioner.
