The CBI lodged the FIR under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 337 (who causes hurt to any person by doing any act in such a haste or negligence as to endanger human life), 338 (who causes grievous hurt by an act endangering life or personal safety of others), 304 A (causing death by negligence), and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).
