The cases were registered against the accused under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC,324 (assault),452 (trespassing),506 (threat to life) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy).

The counsel of Nitin Dingra,the complainant in the case,S K Rohilla,in his argument before the court opposed the bail application of Mahesh and Nikhil. He brought before the court that the complainant had already been injured and allowing the anticipatory bail to Mahesh will endanger his life.

The complainant had been earlier involved in a scuffle with Mahesh on some petty issue,due to which Mahesh wanted to exact revenge on him.
