[2][3] The Aurangabad district, which is also known as "Mini Chittorgarh" of Bihar due to presence of significant Rajput population was not different from any other part of the economically backward state.

Here the feudalism of the worst kind prevailed, in which some of the affluent houses had control over vast swathes of land while others lacked even the basic necessities like proper clothes on their body as described in a report of "India Today".

The Bihar was ruled at this time by Bindeshwari Dubey led Congress government and the tug of war between "upper castes" and backwards for political and economic dominance was on peak.

Earlier, a Rajput landlord of the village who was also a member of Chandra Shekhar's Janata Party had bought 40 acres of disputed land from the "Mahant" and had displaced the sharecroppers forcibly providing a solid cause for the MCC to come in picture, because of their hatred towards Capitalism and the Feudalism.

The killers then entered the house and women members of the community were caught, their heads were put upon an improvised chopping block and were beheaded with local made axes.

The intelligence network at Patna had given signals of possible vendetta on the part of Yadavs after the Chhechani, and patrol units were alerted near the vulnerable villages, but afterall nothing could stop the lynching party from committing mass murders.

Though Chief Minister Bindeshwari Dubey paid a visit to the village, nothing more was done to ward off the fears from the mind of the affected families and to end the cause of disputes which had the potential to bring more cases of inter-caste conflicts in the future between the two communities.

According to another victim Vinay Singh: "Bus ek sarkari naukri mili hai anukampa ke adhar par jis se pariwar chal raha hai, Bhagwan ne jo mere sath kiya wo kisi ke sath na kare (What I have got is a government job on compassionate ground.

In the Chhechani village, prior to the event of Dalelchak Baguaura, an armed group of Rajput landlords had killed 7 Yadav men and raped their women with impunity.

As a response to this killing and humiliation, nearly 700 armed men belonging to Yadav, Kurmi, Koeri and other backward caste descended upon the village of Dalelchak-Baghaura, a Rajput hamlet.
