The gang war is linked to the black market for 'red liquor'. It was known that 'Chhotu' would pass through the railway bridge; after the murder, the shooters disappeared into Tansen Nagar.

In Gwalior, a gang war took place again on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. In this gang war, 'Chhotu', who had informed on illegal liquor trader 'Bhola Sikarwar' 15 months ago, was targeted to avenge his murder. The shooters had accurate information that 'Chhotu' would pass through the Tansen Nagar railway overbridge around 12 am. As expected, the miscreants pulled 'Chhotu' from the Racecourse Road side of the ROB and shot him dead at the very beginning.
