On that day, at around 12:00, the victim arrived in front of an affiliated Middle School of Maung Nama village with some bananas to sell the students. Being tired, he took rest and he washed his face lifting his Longyi. Meanwhile, the headmistress Daw Khin Nyunt of the said school was coming to school lonely and saw the event of the Nazir Ahmed.
