If there is any evidence on record, it is only against absconding accused. So far these two accused are concerned there is nothing on record to show their complicity directly or indirectly in the commission of crime. One of the peculiarities of the case is that the investigation has also been conducted in a very casual manner and it is astonishing to note that IO has gone on the spot after almost five months.
