Key Questions Answered
The incident was triggered by a dispute over a multi-day religious ritual being conducted at his home in Shambhupur village. Arvind Singh returned home, argued with his wife Babita and the priests over the ritual, and opened fire, killing his wife, two priests, and his young son before being killed in a police encounter.
Following the initial murders, Arvind locked himself in a room with his children and engaged in gunfire with law enforcement during an 8-hour operation. The accused was killed in the ensuing police encounter, and his wounded son later died during treatment at the hospital.
The family arranged the multi-day ritual because they suspected that Arvind was possessed by a ghost or affected by supernatural forces. The puja was also intended to bring peace following the murder of Arvind's brother years prior, despite Arvind being strongly opposed to the ritual.
