The incident that started the case took place on the night of November 1. Goswami, TI of Khategaon police station, was conducting checking on the Indore-Betul National Highway in the Khategaon police station area when the driver of a mini truck loaded with illegal liquor ran him over. The driver then turned the vehicle around and fled. A short distance ahead, he abandoned the vehicle and escaped. Police registered a murder case and began an investigation.

Police then carried out what the source calls a short encounter, in which both were injured. They were brought to the district hospital, where they were referred elsewhere after primary treatment.
