Though Santosh was taken to the hospital, he succumbed. Police said that sometime back Roopsingh had given Sitaram his countrymade revolver and then tipped off the Chhatripura police about it, as a result of which Sitaram was arrested. Then Roopsingh had assured Sitaram that he would get the latter bailed out.

However, Roopsingh, instead of arranging bail for him, went away to Gujarat where he stayed for six months. On Wednesday morning Roopsingh and Sitaram happened to meet by chance and the two had heated exchanges over the former’s betrayal, and Roopsingh slapped Sitaram. This angered Sitaram who then planned and stabbed Roopsingh.
