Thirty-two-year-old Ram Ashish Nishad murdered his 19-year-old sister Neelam in a dispute over Rs 6 lakh compensation received by their father, Chinku Nishad, for land acquired under a road project. He was allegedly upset about the money being used for his sister's wedding.

CCTV footage showed Ram with a sack, allegedly with his sister's body in it. On his way to Kushinagar, he was stopped by the police and was asked what the sack contained.
Ram told them the sack had wheat and continued his journey to Kushinagar, where he dumped Neelam's body in the sugarcane field.
When Neelam remained missing, her father initially assumed she had gone for Chhath Puja. However, after neighbours mentioned seeing Ram leaving his house with a sack on Monday, the family grew suspicious and the police were informed.
