According to reports, the sarpanch, Pradip Bisoi, left his Gate Bazaar home on his motorcycle and was heading towards Anantai. He is believed to have been murdered by thugs near the Baurisukunda water plant, which is located inside the Bada Bazar police jurisdiction.

Police went to the scene after being alerted by neighbours who had discovered the body. The body of the sarpanch was sent for a post-mortem after the police identified him, and a complaint was filed. More research is being carried out.

Though the actual reason of the sarpanch's death is unknown, the police believe it was the result of an ancient feud.
