PC Edas asked Aju Dehuri for his name. He replied Aju Dehuri. Moreover the ASI asked for the<br />

residence of Musa Dehuri. Aju told him that he heard about the man, but he wasn’t able to recognize him<br />

or his house again.<br />

finger got cut. After this injury he went to the Jiral hospital. As a result of his poorness neither he wasn’t<br />

able to do anything against the police nor his village people wanted to support him.<br />
