According to police officials, news outlet ANI stated that when Jagdish went to get a car from the dairy farm, he got into a fight with Mishrichand Gupta's family members over a long-standing disagreement. Later, the debate became heated, and the accused brutally beat the victim. Additionally, the accused ran over the victim with a four-wheeler before escaping.

It is pertinent to note that independent Councilor Kiran Yadav's nephew, Jagdish Yadav, died. In the elections for the local board, Kiran Yadav defeated Meena, the wife of Mishri Chand Gupta, by 83 votes. According to the rumours, Jagdish was killed during this hostility. He lived in Koregaon in Makronia and worked at a dairy farm near the intersection of Makronia.

BJP leader Mishri Chand Gupta and his family were the targets of the accusation. Eight suspects, in this case, were charged with murder by the police. Five of them were detained. Mishri Chand Gupta continues to elude capture.
