Chomanna was inside the room where areca nut and agricultural implements belonging to the family are stored,
on Sunday evening, when his family members heard the sound of firing. They rushed towards the room, opened its doors, and found that Chomanna had turned the barrel of the licenced gun meant for protection of crops from animals towards his stomach, and pulled its trigger with the finger of his leg.
