As per the SP, deceased Sunil Kumar, and accused Mohit, Manjeet and Ankush had reached Kurukshetra in a train on the night of December 29. They had dinner at a hotel and then killed Sunil at Keshav Park. They had wrapped the head of Sunil in a sheet and thrown it in Sannihit Sarovar and left the headless body at the park.

About the dispute, the SP informed that accused Mohit used to use Sunil’s two-wheeler, and Sunil was an alcohol addict and he used to force Mohit to give him money for liquor else he would take his two-wheeler back. Mohit was not happy with the situation and due to the animosity, Mohit along with other accomplices (Manjeet and his brother Ankush) killed Sunil. The knife used to kill Sunil was also bought from Panipat.
