While the dog dodged the first bullet, the second would have pinned him had Saxena not intervened to save the animal. Seeing his ‘target practice’ go awry, a furious Yadav then trained his gun on Saxena, killing the latter on the spot.

According to residents, Saxena would have been alive had he not tried to save the dog and avoided confrontation with Yadav, a known goon in the area. Yadav had reached the farm in an inebriated condition where Saxena was working along with 10 other labourers.
