Suspect Abdul Ghaffar was wanted by police in cases registered against him at the Bhitai Nagar police station for allegedly kidnapping his sister who had married Zahid Hussain, belonging to the Hisbani tribe, of her freewill.

The police raided the house of the woman’s family and tried to arrest the suspects but the inmates along with a mob of 25 people offered stiff resistance and forced the police team to leave the village without arresting the suspect.
