1. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 29.08.2016,
upon receiving Daily Diary entry No. 47A, Sub-Inspector Sita
Ram, accompanied by Constable Lokender, proceeded to the
location of the incident – Gali No. 17, Siddharth Enclave,
SHIVALI
BANSAL Bhagwati Garden. There, they met the complainant, Anup Kumar
16:56:29 +0530 SC No.1010/18 State vs. Parvesh Rana Page No. 1 of 24
Singh, who handed them a written complaint along with an
empty cartridge and a bullet lead. According to the complainant,
on 29.08.2016 at around 12:30 p.m., construction work was
underway at his residence located at House No. F-12-13, Gali
No. 17, Siddharth Enclave, Bhagwati Garden, Uttam Nagar, New
Delhi. On that day, the wooden supports ( balli-fatte) of the roof
slab were being removed by labourers. To prevent injuries to
passersby, the complainant temporarily obstructed the pathway
with a wooden beam and assigned some individuals to ensure
safety. At that time, the accused, Parvesh Rana, arrived and began
shouting and abusing the complainant for blocking the lane.
Upon hearing the commotion, the complainant and his mother
came outside. The accused caught the complainant by the collar,
assaulted him with punches and kicks, and then returned to his
SHIVALI house. He came back armed with a pistol and fired shots towards
BANSAL
complainant and his mother. In an attempt to protect themselves,
the complainant and his mother rushed back into their house. The
accused fired three shots at them. The complainant handed over
one empty cartridge and one bullet lead to the Investigating
Officer. It is further case of the prosecution that the accused later
disposed of the pistol in an attempt to destroy evidence related to
the attempted murder. Additionally, he possessed and used the
firearm without a valid licence. As a result, the present case was
registered and an investigation was initiated.
