The matter pertained to Jawan Mohalla of Sikandarpur which is located in the Jawan police station area. A complaint was filed by the mother of the Hindu youth.

The grieving woman highlighted that her other son and another relative witnessed the murder with their own eyes. She requested strict action against the culprits.

The authorities transferred the body to the mortuary after finalizing the Panchnama on the night of the occurrence and the post-mortem examination commenced the next morning during which a crowd assembled outside the facility. The results indicated that five stab wounds had been inflicted on the neck and adjacent areas. The neck was cut in a manner that it severed the windpipe.
