According to eye witnesses, Naushad had run into the shop, Krasa, to escape his pursuers. Two people on a motorbike arrived shortly afterwards, and stabbed him, leaving him on the floor in a pool of blood.

One of the suspects, a 20-year-old male, was arrested on February 26. He had been remanded in jail pending the outcome of his trial.
