Two-three other persons were also involved in the act, Singh said.

An FIR was registered on April 3 against Bajrangi and his associates under sections 323 (causing hurt), 341 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code at Saran police station.
