Some relatives and friends of the groom, who had come with the baraati, were dancing to the tune of music in joy. In excitement of the dance, they pushed some villagers, who were watching the procession, by mistake. But the villagers took objection to it and an argument ensued.

As argument escalated to heated exchange of words, bride’s mother Kishori rushed to the spot and tried to pacify both villagers and members of baraati. Agitated over interference of Kishori, the villagers attacked her. Two villagers, identified as Sumant and Subodh, arrived there with sharp weapons and hacked Kishori to death.
