Naseeb Qureshi was brutally beaten with sticks and sharp weapons, and Firoz managed to escape and went to the police station to ask about his uncle’s whereabouts. However, he was misbehaved with and asked to leave the police station. Later, he found out that his uncle’s body was in Daroda Hospital, which was later referred to Siwan Sadar Hospital. Naseeb Qureshi died on the way to Patna.

Firoz said he visited the police station to inquire about his uncle’s location. “However, the behaviour of the authorities was inappropriate, and they asked me to leave,” he said.
