Sir, it is my humble request that I Vinod Kumar son of late Shri Rajpal Singh, age 24 years, am a permanent resident of village Sulodha, district Jhajhar and am a shopkeeper by profession. Sir, on 09/05/2024 at about 4.45 P.M. a boy Sunny son of Billu came to my shop and made me talk to Ajay alias Chhotu son of Bijendra resident of Sulodha from his mobile phone and Chhotu pressurized me to give cold drink on credit. I refused to lend him cold drink because he had not paid off my previous credit amount. He threatened me over the phone and told me that he will have to face consequences. I informed my father about this and my father settled the matter by talking to Chotu etc. over the phone. After this, all the above accused suddenly formed a gang and cut the power line from the transformer at night at around 10.30 P.M. and forcibly entered our house with sticks, axes, pointed weapons and sharp weapons and started beating my sister Kusum and mother Rajesh and breaking things. And they attacked my father with a sharp weapon. They attacked him so many times, that on the spot my father was in serious condition. All these people forcibly dragged him out into the street and then again my father was brutally beaten by all the accused persons with weapons and sticks which was in their hands outside the street, due to which my father fell unconscious. All these accused ran away after threatening to kill my entire family and while leaving they also said that if I refused to lend them things on credit in future, then they told my father that this time we have killed you, next time we will kill your son and grandson. After hearing the screams, I came down from the roof and with the help of my uncle's son Naveen son of Shri Bhagwan and my mother, and we took my father to a private hospital (Global) in Jhajjar, wher
