The son and husband of the informant went somewhere else due to fear of accused persons. As informant had made a complaint at police station concerned regarding that incident, the accused-persons were bearing grudge against her. The accused persons appeared at the door of the house of informant at 2/6/2019, at about 11:30 PM due to previous enmity and knocked at her door. The informant opened door in impression that her son and husband would have come to home. The accused persons barged into her house and accused Veer Singh and Pappi grabbed and molested her minor daughter with bad intention. When the informant objected to this, they engaged in maar-peet with her and threatened her that they would compel her to leave the place like her husband and son and will grab her house and take her daughter with them. When the informant and her children shouted for help, the accused persons left the place after hurling threats of life to them. The informant tried to lodge her report at police station concerned but due to influence of accused persons, her report had not been lodged and ultimately she had to take recourse of the court for lodging her FIR, under Sec. 156(3) Cr.P.C.
