According to the petition, the victim, Joj Mia, 45, was called to a garage in Badda late on 9 September as part of a pre-planned conspiracy stemming from a previous dispute.

There, Abdullah and the other accused, acting in collusion, repeatedly stabbed him with sharp knives, leading to his death.

Later, they allegedly took the body in a CNG-run auto-rickshaw and dumped it in the Jirani canal under the Trimohoni Bridge in Khilgaon in an attempt to conceal the crime before fleeing the scene.
