His brother-in-law Gorakh Chhagan Rathod stays there. He wanted to construct a house in the village and he had borrowed ₹2.40 lakh from Jadhav on different occasions. Since Jadhav wanted to buy land in his village, he was asking Rathod to return the money. On July 11, he called up Rathod and asked for money.
