📌 Paras 4-5
The prosecution's case originated from a missing person complaint filed by the deceased's son on March 25, 2013, detailing her movements on March 23, 2013. Subsequently, burnt skeletal remains were found in a forest, leading to an FIR for murder and destruction of evidence. A second complaint named the deceased's elder brother and the appellants (accused nos. 2 and 4) for abduction, murder, and burning the body, allegedly due to financial disputes. The appellants were convicted by the Trial Court for offences under Sections 302, 364, 404, 201 read with Section 34 of the IPC, which was affirmed by the High Court.
