Conspiracy to grab Rs 1 crore 12 lakh
When Sanjeev Bedia came to know that the compensation amount was Rs 3 crore 12 lakh, Sanjeev Bedia started pressuring Dharmendra for his share of the money.

Ramgarh SP Ajay Kumar said that on 23 August at 7:30 pm, a person named Sanjeev Bedia was shot dead with three bullets.
