Suppose if 2 persons are beating an injured complainant and 4 other persons are calling such injured in the names being part of that assembly and later on that injured complainant dies due to those injuries though inflicted by only 2 persons and 4 persons didn't inflicted injuries rather kept on chasing him then all 6 persons shall be tried under section 302/149 IPC apart from other relevant sections.
