The occupant of vehicle alighted from the vehicle and forcibly tried to kidnap him on account of old enmity, he complained and had added when his father resisted and raised alarm, they threatened to kill him. However his father tried to save him but three of them caught hold of his father and one of them namely Sumit Singh hit his father with sharp edged weapon inflicting him serious injuries. He was shifted to GMC Hospital for treatment in critical condition. On the written report of complainant FIR No. 249/2013 for the commission of offence falling under Section 307/364/34 RPC r/w 4/25 Arms Act was registered and DySP, Khaliq Hussain Choudhary started investigation.

Principal Sessions Judge Jammu RS Jain observed that the allegations leveled against the accused are of very serious nature and against the society. The accused were charged with offence u/s 304 Part II RPC on 17.2.2014 and the case is pending for evidence of prosecution. The previous bail application filed by the accused was dismissed vide order dated 15.2.2014. Since then there has been no material change in the circumstances of the trial or the case to make out a case for enlarging the accused on bail.
