According to the statement of the case and the victim, Ram Chandra Das buys fish from fishermen every day and sells it wholesale on the Brahmaputra bank of Putimari Bazar in Thanahat Union. Due to market position and various reasons, a local group had to pay regular subscription. He stopped giving subscriptions after the fall of the government in the popular coup on August 5.

Ramchandra Das said, "Masud Gong has been taking regular subscription for my fish business since last 4-5 years. At least 1 day's worth of fish had to be provided every week. Since August 5, I have been receiving threats for not paying any more. At one point he went to my house and attacked me and my wife. After hearing that I filed a case at the police station, they abused me on the phone.
He also said that Masood Gong, accused in the case, is very dangerous. Anyone who speaks against them comes to beat them. Threatened to kill.
Masud Mia and Milan Mia have denied the allegations.
