| It is not known if Chandan Gupta drank alcohol. |
| Since his teenage years, he actively worked as a social worker and co-founded an NGO called “Sankalp Foundation” that organizes blood donation camps, distributes blankets, and conducts other welfare activities for people. |
| Chandan was involved in volunteer work with organizations such as Vishva Hindu Parishad, Hindu Mahasabha, and ABVP. |
| During a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ organized by the volunteers, a conflict arose when they tried to enter a Muslim-dominated area, resulting in a violent confrontation where Chandan was fatally shot. |
| According to Kasganj Kotwali SHO Ripudaman Singh, the volunteers were provoking individuals from the Muslim community as they attempted to enter their neighborhood. |
| The root of the conflict began when the Uttar Pradesh government ordered the removal of loudspeakers from public places without permission, leading to tensions between the Hindu and Muslim communities. |
| A witness stated that Chandan was part of a rally planned on January 25, 2018, and had informed the district administration, UP chief minister, and Union home minister about it on social media platforms, but his concerns were not taken seriously. |
| On January 31, 2018, the UP Police arrested the main suspect, Salim Jawed, in connection with Chandan Gupta's murder. |
