According to the statement in the video and his relatives, the elders of Mudiraj community had kept him away. Shankar urged the Alladurg police not to harm his elder brother. Shankar lamented that everyone in the community was favouring the women (his wife) during the panchayat. He said he had lost confidence in the people. Stating that he would have ended his life a few days ago, Shankar said he decided to take the extreme step finally as no one from the community changed their attitude towards him.

On February 6, Shankar had filed a case against three elders in Alladurg Police Station alleging that they were harassing him. The relatives of Shankar alleged that the police did not take any action against the elders. Alladurg police registered a case and investigation is on.
