Four labourers from Assam have been working in the coffee plantation belonging to M.C. Dinesh at Devavrunda village. On September 7, they have got their wages from Dinesh and consumed liquor. They developed quarrel among themselves related to wage and when their clash reached peak, remaining three killed Matlab Ali (17) and buried the body and fled the village.  

While going back to Assam, among three, Bilal (21) missed in the train and remaining two Vaidulla (20) and Mohidulla (20) reached their village. When Matlab Ali did not come along with those two, Ali parents enquired them. In the beginning, the accused said that Bilal and Ali missed in the train. Suspecting their behavior, Matlab Ali father Talibun and mother Muktabunnisa lodged a complaint in the local police station.
