The main reason for this pressure was said to be an attempt to evict Rit Lal from his property. When his mother and brother tried to force them out, Rit Lal reacted with anger and opened fire on them.

This incident not only highlights familial tensions but also underscores the seriousness of violent tendencies among former Naxalites. The police are now conducting a detailed investigation into the matter.
