The investigation papers illustrate, Mohan Gujar, Manoj, Jagan, Ashish, the four witnesses, who have seen atrocious act of colleagues of the accused, have been refrained from naming the 2 Criminal Application No.1227/2011 same to public at large to ensure that no oblique situation creeps in the city. This was adding salt to the injuries of the victim and also to true spirit of the matter. A.P.I. Suresh Patil, too was, at material time allegedly prevented from producing the genuine record before the Court.
