Superintendent of Police Chakresh Mishra said Abbas's son Shaukat had eloped with the daughter of one of the accused in 2020. A case had been registered, as the girl was a minor at the time, and Shaukat was sent to jail, said cops.

He was released from jail a few days ago, and the accused planned the attack, police said. According to the villagers, the girl's father has been identified as Shaukat Rampal, they added.
