The charge was framed against the accused u/s 323/342/384/506/34 IPC to which they pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.

PW 1 Sushil Kumar has categorically proved that he has been confined in the house i.e F­2/7 Khanpur Village where he was also beaten. He was detained for a considerable period of time and therefore this is sufficient to convict the accused persons under that section.

The ingredient of offence of extortion is made out considering the evidence of the injured in this case and therefore, it can be said that the accused persons have committed an offence u/s 384 IPC.

Therefore, on the basis of aforesaid evidence and the law discussed above, the accused persons are convicted for offences u/s 323/342/384/34 IPC.
