According to a note released by the Handlooms and Textiles department, Srinivas, who worked as a powerloom worker up to 2020, had stayed away from the weaving profession after he fractured his right hand.

He later worked as an autorickshaw driver, a SIM card salesman, in a wine shop and also in a petrol bunk but still struggled to stay afloat. In the recent past, he was not doing any work as his hand was completely paralysed, the note said.
