our father and was cut on the head and the 2nd defendant retaliated with the same axe. I did not beat our elder brother with the axe handle or throw stones on him. I don’t know what happened to our elder brother after the 2nd defendant retaliated because I ran away because the remaining people there ran away. We were later taken to CID because were alleged to home participated in the fight. The fight I was not involved in the fight. I made a statement and signed same because I was beaten.
