The deceased, identified as Ramsevak Chauhan, was returning home after irrigating his fields when the accused ambushed him on the way and launched a fatal attack. Family members revealed that the assault was carried out by his uncle Shivcharan, cousins Ranjit and Alok, along with a few others, due to a long-standing dispute over land.
