The injured stated that he and Rahul Harijan had gone to Preksha Hospital for getting treatment of Rahul's injuries at about 4:00 PM where the complainant's brother-in-law Vishnu and Ravi Sharma met them. They proceeded to Maharaj Hotel for taking tea. At that time, a grey coloured Innova car bearing registration no. RJ-19-UB-1818 came there. The words 'Zila Pramukh, Shiv Sena' were inscribed on the vehicle. Accused Nema Ram Patel, Vijay Vyas, Nitesh, Jitesh and 3 other unknown persons got down from the vehicle.

After he had fallen down, Jitendra gave a blow on the back of the injured's head by a baseball bat. Rahul intervened in the conflict and tried to save the injured on which Nema Ram threatened him. The complainant stated that he had given loan to Nema Ram about 3 months ago and the same was not being returned. When he raised a demand for repayment from Nema Ram, he was assaulted with an intention of killing. On basis of this parcha bayan, an FIR No. 111/2016 was registered at P.S.
