A police officer on the case said, “The minor told us that a month back his elder brother fell mentally ill, so he was taken to a tantric named Mohan Yadav of Satguru Ashram. Yadav told the minor that his brother was ill because their parents had done some witchcraft, and if they killed the parents the brother would recover. Yadav said that their financial condition will also improve”.
The minor hatched a full-blown plan for the execution of his parent's death with the help of his brother-in-law, Narsingh Yadav and his six cousins Raju Ram Yadav, Bhole Shankar Yadav, Shankar Yadav, Khageshwar Yadav, Ishwari Yadav and Dashrath Yadav.
