[SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS]

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS

ISSUEI.WHETHER DEVEN IS LIABLE FOR CRIMINAL OFFENCES AGAINST

POOJA UNDER THE BARAT PENAL CODE.

The prosecution humbly submits that Deven is liable to commit offences against Pooja with

respect to the following three offences under the Barat Penal Code-

Firstly, U/s 308 of BPC, this section holds criminal liability against a person whocommits

‘Attempt to Commit Culpable Homicide’. In order to hold a person criminally liable U/s 308 of

BPC, two essentials are required to be proven. Firstly, that the act was done by the offender with

such intention or knowledge that his act could have led to the victim’s death or such bodily

injury that would have caused the victim’s death. Deven’s act of holding the knife against

Pooja’s neck and subsequently pulling her along with him with the knife on her neck constituted

requisite knowledge U/s 308 of BPC.

The part of the victim’s body in which the injury is caused also suggests that he had the requisite

knowledge of the outcome of his act. Secondly, the offender must have the intention to commit

culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The act of Deven falls under exception 2 of S. 300

of BPC4. Since Deven exceeded his right of private defence, it is proved that he intended to

commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

4
Exception 2 of Section 300 of BPC- Culpable homicide is not murder if the offender, in the exercise in good faith
of the right of private defence of person or property, exceeds the power given to him by law and causes the death of
the person against whom he is exercising such right of defence without premeditation, and without any intention of
doing more harm than is necessary for the purpose of such defence
P A G E | XIV
SURANA & SURANA NATIONAL TRIAL ADVOCACY MOOT COURT COMPETITION 2018 – NORTH ROUNDS

[SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS]

Secondly, U/s 354 of BPC, this section undertakes assault or criminal force against a woman

with the intention to outrage her modesty. Deven’s act of using Pooja as a shield for his own

protection byholding the knife against Pooja’s neckusedcriminal forceagainst her person, his

gesture of bringing the knife close to Pooja’s face was likely to act caused reasonable

apprehension in the mind of Pooja and Deven knew that his act will lead to outrage her modesty.

Thirdly, Deven is liable U/s S.509 as he intentionally tried to insult Pooja’s modesty by abusing

her and calling her a woman of poor character and he too passed scandalous comments on her

choice of profession. Deven by his statement insulted her modesty in front of right-minded

people in the hotel and subsequently intruded upon her privacy.

ISSUE2.WHETHER JEYANT IS CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR COMMISSION OF

OFFENCES UNDER THE BARAT PENAL CODE.

The prosecution humbly submits that Jeyant is liable to commit criminal offences against Deven

with respect to the following two offences under the Barat Penal Code-

Firstly, U/s 326 of BPC, the offender is liable if he causes grievous hurt voluntarily using

dangerous weapons or means. Jeyant hurled a stone at Jeyant’s head which caused bleeding from

the back of Deven’s head and then he further gave multiple blows which caused Deven to

collapse. Deven was rushed to the ICU and according to the Medical Experts the injuries caused

to Deven were of a grave nature and was likely to cause his death5. The act of injuring Jeyant and

further causing injuries on his body amounts to endangering his life which subsequently limited

his daily pursuits and caused severe pain to Deven, these acts of Jeyant amounts to Grievous

[SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS]

hurt under Section 320 (Eighthly)6. Injury on the head caused using a stone and also by severely

brutalising him comes within the ambit of dangerous meansU/s 326of BPC.

Secondly, U/s 504 of the BPC, there should be an intentional insult which causes provocation to

the person insulted. The offender should have the intention or knowledge that his would break

public peace. Jeyant had pre-mediated the entire incident due to the existing animosity between

Deven and him. The act of jeyant of throwing of stone towards Deven and shouting murder,

murder...was without any reasonable apprehension or cause and his act was also likely to breach

public order. Jeyant even after knowing the possible outcome of his acts, acted upon it, that

subsequently broke public peace and order and therefore Jeyant is liable U/s 504 of BPC.

§ 320 (Eighthly) Barat Pen. Code - Any hurt which endangers life or which causes the sufferer to be during the
space of twenty days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits.

ARGUMENTS ADVANCED

ISSUE I. WHETHER DEVEN IS LIABLE FOR THE COMMISSION CRIMINAL OFFENCES


AGAINST POOJA UNDER THE BARAT PENAL CODE.

It is humbly submitted before this Hon’ble court that Deven is criminally liable with respect to

three offences. To prove this, it is contended that, Firstly, Deven had the intention to commit

Culpable Homicide not amounting to Murder. Secondly, Deven used criminal force to outrage

modesty of Pooja. Thirdly, by usingscandalous words and gestures he outraged Pooja’s modesty.

I.A. THAT CRIMINAL LIABILITY CAN BE ATTRIBUTED AGAINST DEVEN FOR

COMMISSION OF ATTEMPT TO COMMIT CULPABLE HOMICIDE U/S. 308 OF BPC.

I.A.1 Deven made the attempt with the knowledge that his act would have caused Pooja’s death.

(¶1.)It is humbly contended that S. 308 BPC, states, whoever commits an act with the prior

knowledge and intention of possible death is guilty to commit culpable homicide not amounting

to murder. Attempt might not culminate in hurt. It is the ‘attempt’ to commit culpable homicide

which is punishable under S. 308 BPC and not the type of injury.7

(¶2.)Deven’s act of holding knife against Pooja’s neck was voluntary and sufficient to endanger

her and bring her safety into compromise. Victim’s death due to injury is not paramount, the

attempt is to be considered.8 Knowledge of accused is enough to attract the provision of S. 308

BPC. The offence of simple and grievous injuries inflicted, is although, punishable under section

324 BPC9

I.A.2. The offence committed by Deven fulfils the essential requirements of S. 308 BPC

(¶3.) It is humbly contended that, the essential ingredients of this section need to be

established10. In order to ascertain the knowledge, it is to be proven that the knowledge of the

act can be imputed to the offender unless there are any other circumstances to indicate that he

could have had no such knowledge11. Deven’s act of holding knife against Pooja’s neck12 could

have been fatal.

I.A.3 Deven had the ‘Knowledge’ that his ‘act’ would cause Pooja’s death

(¶4.)Knowledge and intention are two independent aspects. Criminal culpability is determined

by referring what a person with reasonable prudence would have done.13Offender knowledge

that his act is likely to cause death14 is an evidence to show his prior knowledge or intention15.

The act however might not be immediate16. Holding the knife against Pooja’s neck could have

caused grievous hurt. The kind of injury, weapon and the body part injured is to be considered 17.

The injured part chosen could be indicative of intention for infliction of injuries likely to cause

death of the victim18. Ordinary course of nature means ‘in the usual course if left alone’19. Injury

inflicted by the assailant is sufficient in the ordinary circumstances to cause death, if the bodily

injury is fatal.20The medical report (Annexure XVII) shows the lacerated wounds of 8 x 1 cm of

Pooja and the doctor in his report termed the injury to be sufficient in the ordinary course to

cause Pooja’s death, by this it can be construed that the injuries met requirements of code21

I.A.4 Deven had the intention to commit Culpable Homicide not amounting to murder under

Section 300 of BPC.

(¶5.)There was intention to commit Culpable Homicide not amounting to murder22. Section 308

section 300 of BPC, which talks about Private Defence23.However, the force used should be

proportionate to the danger apprehended by the offender.24

I.A.5. Deven’s act falls under Exception 2 of Section 300 BPC.

(¶6.)Elements that arepertinent to be proven are that there existed a right to private defence in

favour of the offender and the right did not extend to cause death.25 Private defence is claimed

when the right extends to causing death or depends upon the threat apprehended. To judge

whether the accused exceeded his right, gravity of the offence by the accused and nature of

attack is to be considered26.

I.A.6 Deven exceeded his ‘Right to private Defence’.

(¶7.) It is humbly submitted that Deven exercised his right disproportionately by exceeding his

right by holding the knife against Pooja’s neck. It can be ascertained by injuries (Annexure

XVII) that he suffered. Satisfying private defence, the accused has to prove that his right to

exercise defence exceeded to causing death27. Deven’s private defence did not exceed to attempt

to kill Pooja or to cause bodily injury sufficient to cause herdeath. He is liable with the intention

to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder, since his acts were disproportionate

when he took her hostage.

I.B. THAT DEVEN IS LIABLETO HAVE USED CRIMINAL FORCE AND OUTRAGED

MODESTY OF POOJA SECTION 354 OF THE BARAT PENAL CODE.

(¶8.)It is humbly contended before this Hon’ble court that per S. 354 of the BPC, any person

who assaults or uses force criminal in nature to any woman, with an intention or knowledge to

outrage her modesty would be punished U/s 354 of BPC. There should have been cause of

assault or use of criminal force28 and the act committed should be against a woman.There should

be knowledge or intention on part of the accused that such an act would cause outrage of her

modesty.

I.B.1. Deven assaulted and used Criminal force against Pooja.

(¶9.)Force is said to be used by a person if he changes motion.29In order to constitute offence

under this section assault or criminal force is necessary. Commission of any act which is contrary

to the character, within his knowledge, the burden of proving is on accused.30 The act was

against of the general character of the accused.

(¶10.)Assault is committed by a person whenever he makes any preparation with the intention or

knowledge that such gesture or preparation would cause anyone to apprehend that he would

attend criminal force, is said to commit assault31. Criminal force is constituted with intentional

use of force, without the presence of consent and will of the accused, to commit the offence,with

the intention and knowledge that such a force applied will cause injury, fear and annoyance to

the person the force is used, will be said to have applied criminal force against another person.32

(¶11.)Deven used criminal force and assaulted Pooja, bringing the knife close to Pooja’s face

was sufficient to show intention through use of such gesture that criminal force could be

apprehended and reasonable harm could have been caused with knowledge and intent. It caused

injury and abuse to Pooja. The subjective knowledge and knowledge of victim is not necessary.33

(¶12.)Assault and criminal force constitutes to Physical abuse.34It is the absence of legal,

reasonable use of force to injure a person.35 Pooja had been instantly unconscious and she had

been shifted to the ICU. The intention is further sufficed. Intimidation, wrongful restrain,

wrongful confinement or injury, is Criminal force. 36 Action committed by Deven is under such

ambit. The force was criminal. There was criminal force and assault as necessary ingredient.

I.B.2. Deven had knowledge and intention the action would outrage Pooja’s modesty.

(¶13.)It is humbly contended before this Hon’ble court that Deven had full knowledge that his

actions would outrage the modesty of Pooja, He intentionally committed the act. Bringing knife

close to Pooja caused reasonable apprehension of injury and consequent injury by Jeyant. Under

fear, in an attempt to run away, he brought the knife near Pooja’s neck. He intended to outrage

her modesty Resistance on the part of Pooja was the opposing action, which led to slashing of

her neck.

(¶14.)Outrage of modesty is not defined in the BPC. Consulting the dictionary meaning of the

term ‘modesty’37“Freedom from coarseness, indelicacy or indecency; a regard for propriety in

dress, speech or conduct"38.

(¶15.) The action to pull a woman would be enough to outrage, an offence irrespective of the

intention.39It can be tested whether, a reasonable man would judge act of the one committing the

offence had intended to or known to be in all likelihood to outrage the modesty of the

woman.40Ascertaining whether or a woman has been outraged was such that it had the capacity

of shocking the decency of the woman41Essence of the modesty of a woman is her sex. The

culpable intention is essential. Reaction of the woman in this case is relevant; however, the

absence of a reaction is not decisive.42Therefore, the modesty of Pooja has been compromised.

I.C.DEVEN IS LIABLE TO HAVE USED WORDS, GESTURES OR ACTS TO INSULT

THE MODESTY OF POOJA UNDER SECTION 509 BPC.

I.C.1 Deven insulted the modesty of Pooja.

(¶17.)‘Modesty’43 deals with ‘outraging’ the privacy or decency of a woman. Description is not

required to insult to female modesty and it protects against indecency. The object of provisions

of S.509 of BPC is to protect women against indecent behaviour.44Womanly propriety of

behaviour and conduct is modesty45. Modesty includes all other acts falling short of

indecency.46Physical contact is not a pre-requisite to insult. Any act construed as an attempt to

insult modesty under.47

I.C.2. Deven had intention to insult the modesty of Pooja

(¶18.)Intention to insult the modesty of the woman is essential48 by which an offender can be

held guilty if proved.49 Pooja’s declaration of pursuing as air hostess infuriated Deven.50 The act

of Deven abusing and passing immoral and scandalous remarks to Pooja in front of public at

large amounted to her insult. Intention attributable to an act of using abusive words to awoman is

insult the modesty of a woman51. Abusing a woman after losing temper amounts to outrage her

modesty.52 The very act of Deven of shouting at Pooja after knowing about her choice of leaving

him was an outcome of his anger under which he used insulting words against Pooja.

I.C.3. Insulting words were heard by Pooja:

(¶19.)Words are not necessary to be heard by the woman to whom it was addressed53. However

in this case, Deven’s statements were intended and directed towards Pooja and were made to her

in her presence. Pooja had heard the statements made by Deven.

I.C.4. Test of determining the outrage of modesty:

(¶20.)Any act capable of shocking decency of woman can be called as an outraging of her

modesty54. Deven’s abuse remark on her character, calling her a woman of poor character and

behaviour attacks modesty of Pooja. A reasonable man’s perspective is taken into

consideration.55Argument between Deven and Pooja took place in a public. She was humiliated

about her character and dress. This is reasonable ground for seeking relief owing to insult.

Jeyant is liable under section 326 of BPC as he knowingly caused grievous hurt on Deven.

Essential ingredients: Voluntarily causing a hurt;Grievous hurt caused; Use of dangerous

weapons. Hurt by Jeyant on Deven, had been voluntary and caused by dangerous weapons. He

would be held liable.

II.A. THAT JEYANT IS LIABLE FOR VOLUNTARILY CAUSING GREVIOUS HURT

BY DANGEROUS WEAPONS OR MEANS UNDER S. 326 OF BARAT PENAL CODE.

II.A.1 Jeyant voluntarily caused grievous hurt on Deven

(¶1.)An injury which endangers life should be of the nature to put the life into danger. However,

an injury ‘dangerous to life’ is synonymous with an injury ‘which endangers life’ 56.

Endangerment of life is graver than danger to life and any hurt which endangers life is a grievous

hurt57.The ‘offences affecting life’ are quite distinct from offences of hurt and if such hurt results

in death, intended or unintended, the offence would then fall U/s 326 of BPC58.

(¶2.)Hurt caused to the victim has to be of a grievous nature in order for bringing charges under

S. 32059. Before a conviction can be made for the sentence of grievous hurt due to the injuries

defined in S. 320. Of Barat Penal Code, the injuries have to be strictly proved and 320 (Eighthly)

is no exception to that rule60.

(¶3.)Jeyant’s act of throwing a stone at Deven caused him a head injury61, the consequent blows

on Deven’s body by Jeyant further led him to collapse62. These injuries have caused Deven to

land up in the ICU63. The MLC Report in the instant matter proves that the injuries sustained on

Deven’s body endangered his life64, the injury sustained were of such a nature that during the

space of twenty days, it would have un-abled Deven to follow his ordinary pursuits.65 Just

because the victim was in the hospital for 20 days would not mean that there is an application of

S.320 (Eighthly) in the matter66. In the instant matter, the injury sustained by Deven is of such

nature that he was taken to the ICU67 and thus there is a square application of S. 320 (Eighthly).

If the victim is taken into Intensive Care, the injury sustained by him are of a grievous nature and

thus he is taken into Intensive Care to ensure that he can undergo medical procedures to save his

life68.

II.A.2 Grievous hurt was caused by dangerous weapons or means.

(¶4.)S. 326 of BPC, talks about a grievous hurt caused by the means of a dangerous weapon with

injury to constitute death. Serious or grievous hurt cannot be only caused by a certain class of

weapons and thus it will be derived factually how and if the weapon can cause grievous hurt or

injury.69. The facts involved in a particular case, depends upon various factors like size,

sharpness which throws light on the question whether the weapon was dangerous or a deadly

weapon and upon such disclosure the S. 325 or S.326 would be constituted against the accused70.

An assault by a stone to the head can cause a hemorrhage which further can lead to the death of

the person71. Various complexities can be caused when a person is injured on the head and such

injuries can lead to the death of the person72. Jeyant had the knowledge that assaulting Deven

with the stone on his head would cause his death and consequently the essential of ‘likely to

cause death’ of S. 326 is met with.

(¶5.)The dangerousness of the weapon is factually derived from its physical properties73 and

there cannot be a standard rule as to ascertain if the weapon could cause simple or grievous hurt.

The stone used to cause injury on Deven is of such physical properties that it has caused serious

injuries and the bleeding and lacerated scalp on the back on the head.74. Medical Evidence

isweighed along with all other material factors to see whether the prosecution version is reliable,

in the instant matter, the bleeding caused at the back of the head of Deven was caused due to the

stone hurled at him by Jeyant. The Medical officer in his report(Annexure XVI) has stated that

such an injury if not treated properly could have caused complexities leading to the death of the

victim75. The word of the medical officer shows whether prosecution version is reliable, cogent

and trustworthy76.

II.B. THAT JEYANT IS CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR INTENTIONALLY INSULTING

DEVEN WITH THE INTENT TO PROVOKE BREACH OF PEACE UNDER

SECTION 504 OF THE BARAT PENAL CODE,

II.B.1. Jeyant had intentionally insulted Deven.

(¶6.)Jeyant intentionally disturbed the peace of a public place. He panicked for crowd attention.

This can be seen in light of previous enmity between Deven and Jeyant. Animosity is a double-

edged sword which could be used both ways. This could be a valid ground for assault as well as

false implication.77 The accused had used weapons against Deven without apprehension in a fix

which had led to his injury and hospitalization.

(¶7.)Jeyant had not been in fair terms with Deven. His act in isolation can be referred to as insult

which had been intentionally caused. The allegation he made was not reasonable Deven, Jeyant

acted out of his purview of action. Jeyant affected Deven’s reputation, also hurting him. Jeyant

affected Deven’s reputation, also hurting him.

(¶8.)The assembly of the accused and throwing of stones towards the victim is an

unlawfulactivity78. Jeyant formed an unlawful assembly which lynched Deven. Insult and

grievous hurt was committed. All these actions could have been reasonably apprehended by

Jeyant. Therefore, the insult was intentional in nature.

II.B.2. Insult caused to Deven by Jeyant provoked Deven.

(¶9.)Provocation79 is defined as a cause. It could be an inciting or motivating factor for such an

action which would require control, elimination, mitigation, modulation or any other related

measure. Provocation in proactive sense can be formed which would imply the goal to be

achieved by the act. The accused must have intention that provocation caused would in

consequent cause to break public peace or lead to commission of any other offence.80

It is humbly contended before this court that Jeyant threw the stone to instigate and insult Deven.

He did not carry a harmful weapon and reasonably could not have harmed Pooja. The deceased

was harmed by the accused as a result of the provocation of insult by stabbing.81. Jeyant’s had

shouted murder on account of the conceived enmity between them. He wanted to ensure Deven’s

punishment.

(¶10.)Wherever there is direct evidence that the assault has been committed, the question of

motive does not come into existence82. The motive can both be clear and shrouded. If witness is

relied upon, the implicit reliance of the case is on such evidence and does not bank on the

motive. The motive can only be justified that Deven had some other motive than the one

construed by the defence. In the light, a discrepant relation with the Deven, the action can only

be justified as pre-mediated. Such provocation, bringing forward the mob, could cause

disturbance to the public and break public. He still pursued the same. Therefore, the charge of

Section 504 is justified.

II.B.3. Jeyant had previous knowledge or intention that his act could provoke Deven.

(¶11.)It is humbly contended before this court that the Jeyant had previous knowledge such an

act of leading to adverse consequences. Throwing the stone was to insult the Deven, which hit

his head causing grievous hurt. It deprived Deven of self-control and the provocation was

sudden. It was held83 that sudden fight could be grounds for provocation and when blows are

received by the person.

(¶12.)Public peace84 refers to the surrounding tranquillity and harmoniousness of the region.

Disruption affects public order, adversely affecting the law and order situation of place. Due to

sudden pre-mediated acts of panic, the crowd gathered and involved Deven in a fight. Jeyant also

administered a blow on the Deven which lead to his being unconscious. This pre-apprehended

act on part of Jeyant accompanied with his conduct, intention and the manner in which he

committed the offence against Deven85 makes him criminally liableunder section 504 of BPC.

161 Cr.P.C. on 12.06.2017 and 20.06.2017, various material facts of her relationship
with the accused Deven were revealed, it came to our knowledge that Pooja and
Deven were in a relationship since last 4 years, but the differences among them arose
when Pooja got a good job while Deven was still struggling to find one and was
earning quite less, the difference of opinions among them worsened the situation
between them and one day on 9th June, 2017, Pooja decided to meet Deven for one
last time and also to reveal her future plans of becoming Air hostess, Deven after
listening to her got depressed and in order to persuade her uttered some scandalous
words against her to which she got infuriated and slapped her.

 The next meeting between them took place on 12th June, 2017, this meeting was
requested by Deven as he wanted to apologise to Pooja for his bad conduct at the last
meeting and also wanted to meet her for one last time. Kavita and the second accused
Jeyant too accompanied her to the Indira Nagar metro station to meet Deven on Pooja.

elsewhere matched with that of Deven and Pooja.

 The fingerprint samples collected from the stones marked as S1 and S2 matched with

matched with Deven’s blood sample that was collected in the hospital.

 During the investigation, wife of the deceased was also interrogated and in her
statement she informed us that her husband’s brother was involved in the murder of
one of the members of their group and this was the main reason as to why the accused
persons were after their lives and wanted them to leave the locality or else they will
have to face serious consequences. However the wife of the deceased in her statement
stated that they had already disowned Ahmed Owaisi, brother of her late husband
Umar Owaisi and that they were no more connected to him neither they know his

Statement as recorded:

On 12th June 2017, at 9.45 am, I had accompanied my friend Pooja along with Jeyant to
Indira Nagar metro station to meet Deven. Deven wanted to meet Pooja privately for one last
time since she had decided to end all relations with him. On seeing me along with Pooja,
Deven cursed me for manipulating Pooja and asked me to leave so that he could talk to Pooja
alone. They both sat on a bench while I and Jeyant were standing there and watching them
from close distance. After few moments Deven offered Pooja an apple to which she refused
and immediately the next moment we both saw Deven dangerously brought a knife close to
Pooja’s face and upon seeing this we both panicked and Jeyant in order to save Pooja threw
stone towards Deven which hit him on his head and he started bleeding and as Jeyant and few
other men and women from public approached towards Deven, he caught hold of Pooja and
kept that knife around his neck and warned all of us not to come close to him or else the
consequence could be grave, but Jeyant hurled another stone at Deven and the public too ran
towards Deven.
Pooja looked very frightened and in order to save herself pushed him away but Deven tried to
pull pooja and in between all this Deven slit her throat and the blood gushed forth. Pooja’s
shoulder was injured too and she fell instantly unconscious. I tried speaking to her after she
fell, but she did not respond. The public caught hold of Deven and rained blows on him, due
to which he fell unconscious too. Meanwhile the public overpowered Deven and Deven was

NAME: Pooja
S/O: Vishal
AGE: 25 years
OCCUPATION: Software Engineer
ADDRESS:2, Mittu Street, Chirapalli, Vanjiyur Sardam-1.

Statement as Recorded:

I Pooja D/o Dooja, hereby states that I and Deven were in a relationship with each other since
past 4 years, we both studied at the same college and had developed good relations from there
on. I got placed in a Software firm in Punnai and Deven too got a job but of a lower scale.
After getting job it became difficult for me to regularly meet and talk to Devan because of
which Deven often got angry and we often ended up fighting with each other.
After living in Punnai for a while my life style got changed a bit which Deven did not like
and he often used to comment upon my choices of dresses and even had started hating my
friends. One day on June 9th, 2017, I decided to meet Deven and inform him about my future
plans of becoming an air hostess and that I have decided to break all my relations with him as
things were not going good between us, hearing this Deven got upset and tried to convince
me not leave my present job by saying that girls from respected family do not choose to
become air hostess, this statement of him agitated me and subsequently I slammed him over
his backward thinking remarks and yelled at him, after which he got infuriated and started
abusing me in front of the whole public and passed scandalous remarks upon my character. I
got very angry over his remarks and slapped him and told him that I am done with him and
told him to stay away from him and to never text or call me again.
However on the same night at around 11:45 Deven again called me on my mobile phone
number of times after which I picked up the phone, he sounded drunk and was seeking my
apology for his behaviour, but I asked him not to call me again and told him that now

everything is over between us. But the very next morning I saw his text messages wherein he
requested me to meet at Indira Nagar Metro Station for one last time and I acceded to his
request but for my safety I asked Jeyant and Kavita to accompany me there.
On 12th June, 2017 at around 9:45 a.m., I along with Jeyant and my friend Pooja were there
at the Indira Nagar Metro Station. I saw Deven and went to meet him and asked both Jeyant
and Kavita to be around till the time I was with Deven.
Deven and I sat on a bench with one more stranger sitting on the same bench. Deven offered
me some apples but I refused to accept on which he started crying since it made him
remember something about our past memories, but I decided not to console him since I had
decided to act strong in front of him.
Then he took out a knife from his bag and it appeared to me as if he was trying to bring the
knife close to my face in order to assault me and only then I saw that Deven threw a stone at
him which hit him on his head and he started bleeding, I got panicked and could not move,
later I saw Deven and few other men approaching towards me and yelling at Deven, seeing
that, Deven caught hold of me and held the knife against my neck and warned the public to
stay back or else he will do something very bad, but the mob that was led by Jeyant did not
stop and rushed towards him and Jeyant threw another stone at him after which Deven got
infuriated and tried to pull me along with him to which I resisted and after realising that he
was trapped, he slit my throat in an attempt to kill me after which I got unconscious and as
my friend Kavita told me, then I was taken to hospital in the ambulance.
