In brief, the prosecution case is that respondent No. 3 Shyam Sundar lodged an FIR with the allegations that on 20.8.2010 at about 3 pm, when the wife of the complainant was busy in official duty regarding preparation of voter list, petitioner No. 2 Smt. Dulari requested the wife of the complainant to make voter identity card for her daughter Km. Arti, but because of her being minor, the wife of the complainant refused to make her identity card. After five minutes, petitioners came there and entered into the school building and destroyed the official documents and also abused the complainant''s wife and threatened her.
