According to the F.I.R., the said Ramchandra along with his uncle Mangla Ram (deceased) was going on a two wheeler from their village 'Bodwa' to 'Dhadhalia'. Khurd. When they proceeded some 10 Kms. ahead from Kuchera, a Motor Cycle came from behind and the principal accused Ram Vilas alias Ram Kailash fired from a country made pistol and Mangla Ram received a solitary injury on account of that. According to the report, Mangi Lal son of Sagram r/o Village Kuchera was driving the motor cycle and Ram Kailash with a pistol, was the pillion rider. According to the report, he as well as Mangla Ram recognised both of them. Soon a jeep came, which was stopped by Ram Chandra and injured Mangla Ram was transferred to the jeep and was taken to the hospital at Kuchera. The doctor provided the first-aid and referred the patient to Nagaur. Thereafter, the injured was taken to the hospital at Nagaur, from where, he was referred to Jodhpur. The report in original was forwarded to the police station. Kuchera and the said Ram Chandra along with a Constable reached the police station, Kuchera at 3.35 p.m. and produced the report, on which, a case under Sec. 307/34 of the I.P.C. and Sec. 3/25 of the Arms Act was registered. The dying declaration of Mangla Ram (Ex. P/20) was recorded on 16-6-2001 at 9.37 p.m. in the Emergency Ward of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jodhpur by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, C.B.I. Cases, Jodhpur. Mangla Ram stated that at about 10.00 a.m. while he was going with Ram Chandra on a motor cycle, Ram Vilas (alias Ram Kailash) fired at him from a country made pistol and in this way, he was injured.

He further stated that one or two persons were eye-witnesses of the incident who were sitting near the place of occurrence. Mangla Ram could not be saved and died during treatment on 22-6-2001.
