Parmod and Rai Singh, residents of Mauli Jagran, were accused of murdering Gopali at his residence. Sham had stated earlier that the accused hit his father with an iron rod on the head. He had also stated that his father had refused to be taken to the hospital. In the morning he was found lying dead.

However, deviating from his statements in court, Sham stated that he doesn’t identify the accused and had no idea about the entire incident. Taking a complete U-turn, Sham went ahead saying Gopali had got into an altercation with someone and had returned home with injuries. The court acquitted the accused of the charges, owing to the statement of the complainant.
