On the day of the incident, Dinesh, his uncle Baljeet, and their associates were in his office at Jotram Chowk, Hayatpur Sector-93. Baljeet was asleep on a bed when two individuals entered the office inquiring about Dinesh. After being informed that Dinesh was resting, they exited the office only to return later; one of the assailants shot Baljeet while the other shot Ravinder.
