While searching for the cattle smugglers, they spotted a Duster car and asked Aryan's friend Harshit, who was driving, to stop. However, he didn't because their friend Shanky had a feud with somebody and they thought they had sent goons to kill them.

As Aryan and his friends didn't stop, the accused men went after the car. Catching up, they opened fire at the car and a bullet hit Aryan - who was in the passenger seat - near the neck. He was shot again when his friend finally stopped the car, and the shooters thought they might fire back at them.

The second bullet hit Aryan in the chest. He was rushed to a hospital, where he died a day later.

All the accused have been sent to judicial custody after being presented in a city court.
