According to the police, the accused and victim deal in property and there was dispute over an alleged land deal. Police suspect the firing may be the outcome of financial dispute between the duo.

Bapurao Dadas, sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), Daund division, said, “Prima facie it seems that the firing is outcome of financial disputes between them. On Saturday, Gote and others approached Shitole for payment of ₹60 lakh. The duo could have had a heated argument that led to the firing incident.”
