According to police, the accused, Karan and Pawan — both residents of Bhudka village under Bilaspur police station limits — barged into the victim's house around 7pm and demanded that he initiate division of their inherited property. When the victim, Lalit refused and asked them to leave, Karan pulled out a gun and fired at him in a fit of rage.

A PCR team along with police personnel from the Pataudi Road police post reached the spot. Forensic and crime scene units inspected the house and recovered an empty cartridge.
Pawan was arrested the same evening, while Karan was caught on Wednesday. "The weapon used in the crime will be recovered following interrogation," said a police spokesperson.
Both men have been booked under BNS section 101 (attempt to murder) and relevant provisions of the Arms Act at Shivaji Nagar police station.
