So he gave him 3,000 which is now 30 pesewas but he recommended for 40 Pesewas, so he drove off without taking the money and came back to collect sand from his footsteps and threatened to kill him and everyone in the house.

So he went for his gun and gave a warning shot, to at least scare the taxi driver so he let go of the sand. He further explained that, after arguing with the taxi driver to go back to his house and reverse the curse, on their way to his house he said something which angered the taxi driver to attack, so in his attempt to defend himself from getting hit by the driver, the gun hit the forehead of the driver and without him noticing the gun was automatic and had already reloaded after the firing the warning shot, the bullet went through his skull killing him instantly.

GeeMan explained that, he didn't know or had any idea about guns or how that particular gun works. He reported himself to the police and was accused of murder. He went for appeal at the supreme court for accidental Killing but his plea was overturned. GeeMan is now a pastor and stated that, he's taking care of the late Taxi driver's daughter who is in collage now.
