As per the prosecution, the accused attacked Parmanand on November 5, 2011, causing him grievous injuries with the intent to commit dacoity. Parmanand succumbed to his injuries in the hospital the following month.

“The court found the convicts guilty of committing dacoity and murdering Parmanand, resulting in not only the loss of his companionship but also his family’s income,” the order stated.
