Circumstantial evidence may be used to prove conspiracy

Dear PAO,

My cousin was assaulted a few weeks ago, and he is planning to file a complaint against three men, A, B, and C, because they allegedly conspired to commit the assault. B and C denied assaulting my cousin. According to them, it was only A who was responsible for the assault and the injuries that he sustained, and there is no direct proof that they conspired with A. My cousin's friend, who was a few meters away from him at the time of the incident, said that while only A was the one who punched my cousin and hit him with a baseball bat, B held my cousin's arms so my cousin was not able to fight back, and C kept shouting, encouraging and inciting A to punch my cousin. A also served as the lookout. Is it still possible to file the case against all three of them, not just against A, even if there is no direct proof of the conspiracy but only the surrounding circumstances witnessed by my cousin's friend?
