However, when I was going to fire the second shot in the air, suddenly someone hit my head with something and the trigger was pressed accidentally. The villagers held me hostage for many hours and beat me up badly."

Meanwhile, for Sushil's family, tragedy has come not once but twice in quick succession. His daughter Kiran Kumari said: "Only 20 days back my mother Sundari Devi had died. Hardly we had overcome the tragedy, when my father died in the police firing. Just a few minutes before his death, I had called my father on the phone and asked him to come home for dinner as the weather was inclement. He said that he would reach home within half an hour from his shop where he sold litti chokha.

The deal was made by Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd , for which Vadra was a director in February 2008. It purchased 3.5 acre of land in Shikohpur from Onkareshwar Properties at a price of Rs 7.5 crore. The plot was mutated in favour of Skylight the next day and the title of the land was reportedly transferred to Vadra within 24 hours.

Vadra has denied wrongdoing and has said the case was a " political vendetta " against him and his family that comprises former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. The ED is investigating Vadra in two other cases including one against UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari and a land deal in Rajasthan's Bikaner.
