The High Court observed that it is not imperative to declare who was responsible for the firing to grant compensation to the family of the deceased in the unfortunate incident.
The police and district administration found that the SHOs of Muffasil, Basudeopur, Kotwali, Kashimbazar and Purabsarai police stations were negligent in their duty which led to the violence in Munger
Munger SP Lipi Singh had earlier defended the police violence on Durga Procession attendees in Munger and claimed that Hindus had fired, not the police
