The police have filed a case under IPC section 302 (murder) on the accused post the victim’s death.Earlier, they had registered a case under section 307 of IPC (attempt to murder) on the basis of the complaint filed by the victim’s uncle Ramkumar.

The victim’s father has alleged that the accused, identified as Hariom Kashyap and Sunil Kashyap, were involved in betting and they got arrested on April 26. Later, when they were out on bail, they allegedly killed Saini “suspecting him to be a police informer”. They all lived in the same locality called Mohalla Tadwala.
"Hariom and his partner Sunil were suspecting Vikas of being a police informer, because his grocery shop is located near Hariom's shop and the houses are also in the same locality. Due to this, both of them shot at Vikas while he was returning home from the shop on Wednesday night,” said Dildar Saini, father of the victim.
