Anxious father of Bijender Singh in Hoshiar Singh (now deceased) and his two brothers in Rajinder Singh and Vijender are also alleged to have thereafter proceeded in the direction of accused-appellants to warn Bijender Singh, allegedly returning from the pond after easing himself, of the danger at the hands of duly armed assailants in accused-appellants. When they reached near them at the end of the street. Om Parkash gave a jaily blow to Hoshiar Singh on the left side of his head, Jai Parkash thereafter gave jaily blow to Hoshiar Singh wielding the jaily lathi-wise which hit him (Hoshiar Singh) over the left eye-brow.
