At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the bell of the main gate of the house rang. When Ramchand Khandwani opened the door, he saw two turban-wearing men standing. He asked the elderly for donations for the Gurudwara.

After giving it some thought, Ramchand agreed to donate and went inside the house to bring some money. As soon as two miscreants got the opportunity, they entered the house and followed him.
