What police said

According to the police, the murder resulted from personal enmity stemming from a financial dispute. Police said that the prime suspect, the 16-year-old seen riding the two-wheeler, has been detained.

The police stated that the accused had planned the murder 17 days earlier. Family members of the victims said there was an ongoing dispute over money between the deceased and the accused.

"One man named Lakshay had been visiting our lane for the past three or four days. Yesterday, he came to our house with a box of sweets and urged me to come downstairs to receive it personally. At the time when my son was preparing to burst firecrackers, two people, including Lakshay, came, and then I heard shots being fired. Next, I saw that my son was shot," said the mother of the deceased.
