The applicants accosted him. They demanded him money, for buying liquor. They were both armed with weapons like sticks and axe. When Jagdish refused to give them money, they gave blows on the head of Jagdish. He was taken to hospital. Jagdish suffered serious head injury. Ultimately, Jagdish was taken to a hospital in Pune, where he was surgically treated. 3 It seems after long drawn treatment Jagdish survived. Though the injuries suffered by Jagdish were serious in nature, the assault on him was not for a serious cause. It seems the applicants were already drunk, before the incident. It was the last day of the year and they were probably indulging in drinking. When they found Jagdish walking on the road, in the heat of moment they attacked him, when he refused to pay money to buy liquor. There are no criminal antecedents to the applicants. 3] The applicants are in custody for last more than six months. The investigation is over. The chargesheet is also filed.
