The prosecution witness (a police assistant sub-inspector) testified about the investigation, evidence collection (including a recovered iron rod), witness statements, and arrests of 18 accused persons. The investigation concluded with FIR charges under IPC sections 147, 148, 294(b), 324, and 307, with accused 1 also charged under SC/ST PoA Act section 3(1)(v). The defense cross-examination raised questions about the incident's underlying cause being a land/caste dispute rather than a simple agricultural conflict, but the witness maintained investigation procedures were followed.
