"We had called both the families for a compromise. Chand and his sons reached the police station around 6pm. At 7pm, he complained about chest pain. We rushed him to the Safdarjung Hospital where he succumbed to the heart attack," said a police officer.

An enquiry had been ordered to ascertain the exact sequence of events. "When Chand complained of chest pain, all his family members were present on the spot. Chand was not even an accused. He had just been called to reach a settlement with his daughters-in-law," said the officer, adding that Chand had been a heart patient.
