According to police sources, the prime accused, Manish alias Kaku, was reportedly upset over his mother’s alleged relationship with the victim, Amrik Singh. Manish allegedly conspired with his friend Harshit alias Ram, a resident of Valmiki Chowk, Hanumangarh, in Rajasthan to carry out the murder.

The incident came to light after a complaint was lodged by Amrik’s brother Paramjeet, a resident of Patli Dabar. He told police that on May 6, his brother had gone to Ding Mor on a motorcycle to buy household items, when he was attacked by some unidentified men. Amrik was stabbed in the neck and he died on the spot.
