1. STATEMENT OF FACTS
Ravi Sharma was an NRI software engineer employed in a company called COMPUSOFT,
situated at Monitoba, Canada. During the year 2010 Ravi developed friendship with Raveena
through FACEBOOK and gradually developed intimacy with her. In December 2010, Ravi
invited Raveena and her parents to Canada and also sent them three (3) Air tickets for their visit
to Canada. In response to the invitation, Raveena and her parents visited Monitoba and stayed
there for a week. In January 2011, Ravi proposed Raveena for marriage which was also approved
by her parents. An engagement ceremony was organized where limited family members
participated and after the engagement ceremony Ravi went back to Monitoba.
Ravi again invited Raveena after the engagement to come to Monitoba and pursuant to Ravi’s
invitation Raveena went to Monitoba on 3rd February 2011. On 4th March 2011 Raveena
informed her parents that Ravi and she will soon be married and she was lucky to have such life
partner. On 8th April 2011 Raveena informed her mother about her marriage with Ravi at a local
Hindu Temple there. She further informed her that, soon they will register their marriage.
During 2011, COMPUSOFT opened its branch at Mumbai and sent Ravi to India as the country
Head. Sometime during October 2011, Ravi developed intimacy with Sangeeta, a Manager of the
COMPUSOFT. Ravi proposed Sangeeta, for marriage and soon they were engaged on 25th
December 2011. After engagement with Sangeeta, Ravi’s attitude towards Raveena changed but
he did not reveal anything to her. From Monitoba, Raveena informed her mother about the
changed behaviour of Ravi and requested her to contact Ravi as he is not responding to her calls.
Soon Raveena’s father came to know about the relationship between Ravi and Sangeeta.
However, he did not reveal it to Raveena. In the meantime, Sangeeta became pregnant and she
pressurized Ravi to marry her. But, Ravi avoided the situation. When Raveena’s father informed
Mr. Amit (Sangeeta’s brother) about the relationship of Ravi with his daughter he became very
disturbed.
On April 10th 2012 Mr. Amit went to Ravi’s office and had hot arguments with Ravi. Later, Ravi
ordered his security personnel to drag Mr. Amit out of his office and inform the Police. Soon
Police arrived and Mr. Amit was arrested. However, soon he was released on personal bond
from the Police station. On the same day, Ravi telephoned Sangeeta about the incident and
warned her not to keep any relationship with him any further.
On April 12th 2012 Ravi telephoned Raveena to come back to India immediately. When
Raveena came back to India, Ravi went to her house and told her that he is no more interested
to keep any relationship her. He accused her father as the ‘trouble maker’ and threatened to take
legal action against him. Further, On April 20th 2012 Mr. Amit discussed the whole situation
with his friends Mr. Madan Puri, Mr. Govind Pandey and one Mr. Tapan Bose. All of them
decided to teach Ravi a lesson.
On the same day, Raveena’s father narrated the whole episode to his brother-in-law Mr. Suresh
Kulkarni and his brother Mr. Amrit Kulkarni. After the discussion, Raveena was asked to go
back to Monitoba to secure her marital position. On 21st April 2012, Raveena went back to
Monitoba without intimating Ravi. Further, on 24th April 2014, at about 11.30 PM when Ravi
was returning from office in his car Madan Puri, Govind Pandey and Tapan Bose stopped him at
the entrance gate of his residence and assaulted him with iron rods. Taking the advantage of the
situation, Suresh and Amrit came and gave two knife blows, one on the back and the other on
the lower abdomen. When Ravi fell down on the ground bleeding profusely Madan Puri, Govind
Pandey and Tapan Bose ran away from the spot out of fear.
In the meantime, some passers-by informed the Police and Ravi died in the hospital on 26th
April 2014. Police arrested all the accused persons Madan Puri ,Govind Pandey, Tapan Bose,
Amit as well as Suresh and Amrit Kulkarni and charged them under Section 107, 120-A, 300, 302
read with Section 34 of the IPC. The post-mortem report suggested that the deceased died due
to deep injury on the skull (Lamodial Suture).
After the death of Ravi, Raveena filed a civil suit to claim the property of Ravi as his lawful wife
but could not produce any marriage certificate from Monitoba. Likewise, Sangeeta claimed the
property of Ravi as the mother of the unborn illegitimate child of deceased Ravi.
The teams are at liberty to frame their own issues as they deem fit. The First speaker will deal
with the Criminal Case and the Second Speaker will deal the Civil Case.
