In March, 2018, the four youngsters who bore a grudge against the victim E.Sudheer over a petty matter on a playground in Moosapet, decided to take revenge and attacked him in full public view.

They first dragged him out of the bus while was going to college and beat him. They later attacked him indiscriminately with hunting sickles, leading to his death on the spot.

When they tried to flee from the spot, a traffic police official nearby, caught Naveen. The remaining three were arrested later by the Kukatpally police.

They were also detained under the Preventive Detention Act by the Cyberabad police.
