After constant mediation talks and assurances by the authorities, the family members claimed the bodies and held the burial rites on sunday night. The community had staged a mass protest and demanded action against police for ineffectiveness in dealing with both the parties who were at loggerheads over a property for 10 years. An assistant sub inspector Gajendra Singh was suspended for negligence in duty. The victims family members had alleged that Shabbir Mohammed and his two sons were attacked on Friday night too but instead of taking the matter seriously, the ASI let the culprits go which resulted in the savage triple murder the next morning.
