It was however reported earlier that the whole incident is a case of property clash. 

W Yadav is also involved in three other murder cases in Bihar. 

After a tipoff that W Yadav is in hiding in Delhi, Delhi Police with the help of an Assam police unit arranged a raiding party and a trap was laid in Okhla Mandi from where W Yadav was picked up by the police team.

A single shot pistol of .315 bore with 3 live cartridges was recovered from him at the spot. According to reports the victim Avdesh Kumar succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds and he was declared dead in a private hospital in Guwahati.

The bike which was used in the crime was found to be registered in the name of one Mohammad Abbas from Darang district in Assam.
