According to the victim Prem Singh, they do morning-evening service in the gurudwara, while in the daytime they run a lock-key shop in front of the old police post. They said that on the day of the incident, the police in-charge of Palsud and other policemen started demanding money from them and they threatened and assaulted them for not giving the money. Prem Singh told that his turban was also opened in the scuffle. It appears in the video that Prem Singh's turban is open and the policemen are grabbing his hair and pulling.
