It is the case of the prosecution that two days prior to the incident which occured on 18.6.2009 he rang up the wife of the accused No.1 and demanded Rs.10,000/- and for sexual pleasure. On 18.6.2009, Shankar Bansode came 2 to the house of accused No.1 along with two other persons and assaulted the accused No.1 with chopper.
