Allegations Against Dileep Prima Facie Suggest Intention To Harm Police Officers : Kerala High Court

Live Law

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed the plea moved by Dileep to quash the FIR filed by the Crime Branch of Kerala Police against him and five others for conspiring to murder the investigation officials in the 2017 actor rape case, in which he is facing trial as the chief conspirator. ".the reading of the allegations as a whole, prima facie, suggests an intention to cause physical injuries to the police officers, including chopping off hands", the Court observed. The Court added that the offence under Section 120B IPC is attracted in the instant case not based on the utterances made by the accused but on basis of circumstances indicating agreement to commit crime. "In my view, in this case, the offence of Section 120B IPC is attracted not because of the utterances allegedly made by the petitioner, but because of the statement of the said Balachandra Kumar, which is also recorded in the complaint of 3rd respondent, that accused have decided to cause harm to five police officers named therein.
