Arrangements were also made in his school to throw petrol bombs etc. by catapult," the judge noted.The court further said that all these acts of the accused show that he had a meeting of mind with other members of this mob for facilitating an attack against the properties of Hindus and DRP School."He also made a provocative statement against Hindus, which had the effect of encouraging hatred between the community of Hindu and Muslim," the court observed.The prosecution has placed on the record a list of articles, as provided by the complainant, which was allegedly damaged in this case, the court said in the order.The Court also directed to frame additional charges under Arms Act against the accused Mohd.

All these circumstances do show that firing at him was done as part of the common object of the mob to kill Hind. The statement of Yatender Sharma and other persons from DRP School does show that articles were damaged and burnt inside the school, which had value more than Rs. 100," the court added."The complaint of February 28 in 2020 of Yatender Sharma read along with statements of witnesses namely Roop Singh, Geeta, Ashok, Manoj, l Kumar, and Himanshu Kumar, leave, no doubt that there was an assembly of more than 5 persons in the form of a mob and this mob was equipped with such weapons which could cause death," the court observed.This mob indulged in vandalism and arson in DRP School, as it belonged to a Hindu.
