What happened on the 23rd of August?
On the night of August 23, at 10 pm, Aryan Mishra had come out with his neighbour Harshit. He was accompanied by Harshit's brother Shanky, mother and neighbour Kirti Sharma. The men had gone out to eat noodles at the nearby Vardhman Mall.
At that time, the accused Anik Kaushik's organization had received secret information that some people who were smuggling cows would come in the car of the Duster company. Incidentally, Aryan and his friends were also travelling in a similar Duster. Harshit's brother Shanky was also an accused in a murder case. When the accused Anil Kaushik's car chased them, they sped away. The chase went on for 30 km.
Aryan was then hit by a bullet fired by Anil Kaushik. Harshit stopped the car near Gadpuri toll plaza after the bullet hit him. After this, Anil Kaushik and the other accused got down from the car and put another bullet in Aryan's chest. Two women were seen in the car.
According to The Print, Aryan's father Siyanand Mishra said, "I asked Anil Kaushik if he would have shot a Muslim boy like this. Are bullets only for cows? You can also call the police. But he didn't answer my question.
