“One of the accused placed a pistol to Lalit’s head, while another attacked Gyanendra as he was the main target,” the complainant had told Sohna police.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered at Sohna police station under sections 323 (causing hurt), 307 (attempt to murder), 302 (murder), 148 (rioting with deadly weapon) of the IPC and relevant sections under the Arms Act against the accused.
