Gagan had a long standing property dispute with his brother Jageshwar Shrivastava

The duo used to argue frequently over property dispute. They again landed in an argument on May 23, following which Jageshwar, his three sons Udit, Mudit and Hasmukh, and his wife Deepa, began assaulting Gagan physically.

Gagan sustained grievous injuries and was rushed to the hospital by his neighbours. He died while undergoing treatment on Saturday, after which the cops were informed, who arrested Jageshwar, Udit and Hasmukh, while Deepa and Mudit are still at large.
