Principal Sessions Judge Jammu RS Jain after hearing Sr. Adv KS Johal with Advocate Rajesh Kumar for the accused person, observed that the allegations against the accused in the present case are that he entered into a criminal conspiracy with other accused and in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy committed murder of five persons.
