The allegation against applicant Prakash Londhe is that after some other persons had obstructed the first informant Sadique Ibrahim Khan from taking the photographs and had forcibly taken him to the office of Republican Party of India at Dhamma Vihar, the applicant came there, asked about the photographs and beat him by fist & kick blows. By that time police came there and they rescued the first informant.

One is for the offence punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code registered at the instance of same first 3 informant and one is for the offence punishable under Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code arising out of an election dispute. Considering this, though the learned APP has a very strong objection, applicant's being in custody pending the trial for the purpose of further investigation into his involvement in fisticuffs after the first informant was already brought in RPI office, may not be necessary.
