Police investigation revealed that on the day of the incident, Irfan was roaming with his friend Naeem, father of Salim Khan, resident of Kila Road, Mandsaur. Shortly before the incident, both of them had returned from Pratapgarh Road after eating ice cream. The victim Irfan was riding the bike and the accused Naeem was sitting behind.

He told that both of them stopped the car on the road leading to the court from Pashupatinath and started talking. Meanwhile, accused Naeem fired at Irfan’s back and ran away. While leaving, the accused threatened the victim that if he informed the police about the incident, he would kill him.
