Speaking to media, Kafeel Khan said,''It was promised that the culprits will be nabbed within 48 hours. It has been a week now but no action has been taken yet, no arrests have been made yet.''He went on to claim that BJP MP Kamlesh Paswan, who represents the Bansgaon Constituency and Satish Nagalia, owner of Baldev Plaza, hired shooters.

He said: "BJP MP Kamlesh Paswan and Satish Nangalia, owner of Baldev plaza, hired shooters for this. Paswan has no personal enmity with my brother. My uncle has a piece of land which Kamlesh and Satish encroached upon in Feb. FIR was lodged and they had sought stay order by HC on arrests."
