Devla Jamra, a local villager, went to the police station to report what had happened. He explained that at around 6 pm, he was working in his field when he saw Rawalia Ajnar, Ganpat’s elder sibling, walking through his land. An argument started between Rawalia and Ganpat regarding the ownership of the land.
During the argument, Ganpat became aggressive. He went to his house and brought back an iron shovel.
