2. Factually, the petitioner No. 1 is the widow of Late Krishna Nand Rai and the petitioner No. 2 is his real brother, who is also the complainant. Late Sri Krishna Nand Rai had been contesting the assembly elections on Bhartiya Janta Party ticket from the constituency of Mohammadabad, District Ghazipur and he ultimately succeeded in trouncing Afzal Ansari, the real brother of Mukhtar Ansari, the two main accused in the present incident, and was ultimately elected as Member of Legislative Assembly.

3. According to the petitioners, Afzal Ansari is presently a sitting Member of Parliament from Ghazipur and is an active enrolled member of the Samajwadi Party. His real brother Mukhtar Ansari is an independent M.L.A. from Mau and is supported by the ruling party of the State. The very secured position of these persons backed politically by the present ruling government in the State emboldened them to eliminate their political rivals including Late Sri Krishna Nand Rai.
