The deceased had consumed poison to end his life. He had left a suicide note in which he had accused Bhandari and others of harassing him. The former BJP legislator had refuted the charges stating that he had no contact with the deceased nor was he involved in harassment if there was any.

The deceased was involved in a case of misappropriation of government funds in which he had secured bail from the Punjab and Haryana high court. The enquiry against him was reportedly initiated on the complaint of Bhandari. An FIR was lodged against him last year at division number 8 police station for siphoning off grant for projects, which never came up.
