According to the police, Sanjay stabbed Manoj with a knife discriminately on his chest, abdomen and other parts of the body resulting in grievous injuries and instant death. Vamshi, who tried to rescue Manoj, was also attacked and he escaped with minor injuries.

Investigation revealed that in 2023, Manoj had attacked Sanjay resulting in injuries to him. A case was booked at the LB Nagar police station. The elders from both sides had earlier worked out a compromise between Manoj and Sanjay. Though they seemed to have pacified, Sanjay still bore a grudge against Manoj and eliminated him.
