The village consists of almost 2000 populace in which Pasi, Gondiya, Chamar, Dhobi, Brahmins, Thakur, Yadavas, etc. live. Dalits do not own their land for the cultivation and therefore they work as daily wage labourers in the fields of Brahmins, Thakurs and Yadavas mostly and for which they get Rs. 30/- as their wage. However, the victim late Nanhu Pansari owned 6 Biswa of land which was not enough for their livelihood. Therefore, in partnership with the accused Pappu Gondiya (25) s/o late Bhagoti, Kanha (22) s/o Chhiddu and Rajan (22) s/o Bhagoti belonging to Backward Class of the same village had bought water fruit (Singhara) in which the victim had put Rs. 12,000/- as capital. That became the largest share in the partnership and became the cause of his murder. On 11.1.2007, in the night the accused had called late Nanhu from his house to guard water fruit. Nanhu asked his daughter Jyoti for a veil to cover his body. Later he left his house leaving the responsibility of taking care of his house on his brother Shivkumar.
