Chikara frequently borrowed funds against the accused but not returned the quantity and this frequently resulted in debates between these, according to the authorities.
“On the night of June 11 and 12, Dabas shot Chikara into a abandoned plot in Kanjhawala place where he offered him later strangled him” he stated.
