Anjana Ahirwar, who filed a lawsuit in August of last year, claimed that her brother, a Dalit, had been beaten to death by those who were forcing her to make a settlement in a harassment case, passed away on Sunday after she fell from an ambulance in Sagar that was transporting her uncle's body. It is noteworthy that Rajendra Ahirwar, Anjana's uncle, was fatally beaten on Saturday night due to a long-standing enmity, according to police sources. Additional Superintendent of Police Lokesh Sinha informed reporters that Rajendra Ahirwar, 24, passed away from wounds he had received during a fight between two groups inside the boundaries of the Khurai police station.

Notably, Congress politician Digvijaya Singh staged a sit-in protest in Barodia Nonagir village on August 24, 2023, after Anjana Ahirwar claimed that her brother Nitin Ahirwar, also known as Lalu, had been assassinated on the same day by some individuals who had previously harassed her. "Anjana fell from the ambulance carrying the body of Rajendra Ahirwar to their village after the postmortem in Sagar. Their family members were accompanying the body," said Sinha. When asked if Rajendra Ahirwar was killed due to pressure for compromise in the old case, Sinha said all facts would come out during the investigation. Nitin Ahirwar was allegedly beaten to death by a group of people over an old enmity in Sagar district last August.
