“Thereafter Namdhari and Sachin used their fire arms and shot Hardeep which resulted in his death... Thus, these acts bring in the culpable homicide by Namdhari and Sachin, within domain of exception 4 of section 300 of the IPC,” Additional Sessions Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav said while ordering framing of charges against the accused persons.  

The charges will be framed formally against all the 21 accused tomorrow.

The remaining 19 accused were charged under attempt to murder in connection with the incident.  

Besides attempt to murder, the court has also ordered framing of various charges against them under provisions of IPC, including dacoity, rioting with deadly weapons, house trespass, illegal confinement, kidnapping, causing grievous harm and destruction of evidence.
