According to Pandey, a person named Sujit Shah stabbed him in the Phoolbagan area during the procession. “I am not sure why Sujit stabbed me. He called me during the Durga idol procession and talked to me for sometime before stabbing me, I did not realize when. A few minutes later, blood started flowing from my stomach,” said Ashish Pandey.

He added, “Sujit Shah sold ganja and other narcotic items in our area and we had told him not to do so in our locality. This may be why he stabbed me.”
