He said Chotte Lala got infuriated as he did not greet him with "Ram Ram", and started abusing him. "He took off his slippers and started beating me. My wife, Meera, and brother, Shyam Sunder, intervened but they too were thrashed", he alleged.Hariom said he later went to Chotelala's house to complain about his behaviour to his family where another altercation happened. Told that they hadn't been able to organise it, Mishra ran to his house, grabbed an axe and started assaulting Bharat, severing his head in the process. As Bharat lay on the ground bleeding and Mamata begged Mishra to spare her husband's life, he turned to her and broke open her skull with repeated blows of the weapon.
