On orders from the top leadership of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), Bhokta was kidnapped by cadres. The release stated that he was brought to a place known as “Jan adalat” in the Aurangabad area, where a kangaroo court headed by a Naval Bhuiya, sub-zonal commander of the CPI (Maoist), ordered his execution.

On November 2, 2018, Bhokta was killed in the vicinity of the village Badhai Bigha.
