📌 Paras 3-8
The deceased, Dhumman @ Surjeet Bhattacharya, was found murdered in his house on January 14, 2011. The prosecution alleged that the appellant, Gautam Satnami, along with another accused (since acquitted), entered the deceased's house armed with axes and inflicted fatal injuries. An earlier incident on January 13, 2011, involved the appellant threatening the deceased due to past animosity stemming from a previous legal entanglement. The discovery of the body revealed signs of a struggle and injuries consistent with a sharp weapon. The police investigation led to the recovery of alleged incriminating items, including a blood-stained axe and clothes, based on confessional statements.
