According to the police, the prime accused in the case, Sonu Paswan, knew the victim well. As per the sources, both the groups are part of separate Dahi Handi mandals. However, this year the two groups got into a tussle over breaking one particular Dahi Handi from their area.

A case under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 302 (murder) and others, as well as the Arms Act, was registered against the accused, who has not been arrested so far, police said, adding that the injured were admitted to Shatabdi Hospital.
