According to police, the conspiracy stemmed from a long-running dispute over a parcel of land in Samda village. Dinesh Kumar Yadav, a property dealer from Ambedkar Nagar, had allegedly been involved in litigation and complaints filed by Singh for several years. Investigators claim Yadav eventually decided to eliminate Singh and involved his driver, Mukarrabin alias Mubeen, who had been working with him since 2016.
