According to Asha Devi, Bharat was continuously raising the problems of the flood displaced people of Javainiya area with the administration. On the morning of June 17, the day of the encounter, the police reached his house and asked Bharat to accompany them. Bharat Bhushan was putting forth the demands of the flood victims through Facebook Live. He alleged that in front of the police, Bharat threw the weapon in his hand on the ground and surrendered. Despite this, the police pushed him down and shot him five times. Later the policemen took away Bharat in injured condition. The family members were later informed about his death.
