Villagers informed the police after the victim's body was found hanging from a tree.

Some reports say that even a fourth man was involved in the incident who is said to be on the run.

In September, a teenager was allegedly beaten to death by a group of boys for talking to the girlfriend of one of the accused persons in Kidwai Nagar locality in Kanpur. He was a friend of the girl living in his neighbourhood, but her boyfriend did not approve of him talking to her frequently and had warned the victim many times in the past to stay away.
