Some eye witnesses said the two had heated arguments in senior lawyer Arvind Mishra's chamber, when Manish Sharma lost his cool, pulled out his pistol and fired at Darwesh from point blank range.

While most people are wondering why exactly Manish Babu Sharma committed the crime. Sunny, Yadav’s nephew, in his FIR said that Manish Sharma had threatened to kill his aunty and encroached upon her chamber at the Agra Court.
