At that time, his wife, two girls and a child were present in the house. The dacoits were armed with pistols. They allegedly threatened Pal's wife by placing a pistol of her head and looted Rs 5 lakh cash and jewellery items.

As the lane leading to Pal's house is narrow, the dacoits had parked their Renault Duster (AS01DJ9604) in the main road.

While trying to flee from the area, local people tried to stop them. The dacoits left the Duster and fled away on two Scooties belonging to other people. However, while fleeing they fired at a person named Liton Mazumdar on the neck. He is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
