The petitioner moved the High Court for anticipatory bail after he was booked for participating in a late-night brawl involving DU law students. As per the prosecution, he was part of a group of students armed with hockey sticks, lathis and iron rods who assaulted the complainant and others.
The petitioner’s counsel argued that his client had beaten the complainant only using his fists, and that the injuries suffered are simple in nature.
He further claimed that this is a false case where the investigation is being influenced by a senior judicial officer who happens to be the uncle of the complainant.
