Upon reaching the scene, the injured, identified as Satvir, had already been taken to the hospital. Satvir had injuries to both legs and hands, but no visible injuries on vital body parts.

Despite remaining unconscious, a case under sections 308 and 34 of the IPC was registered on Monday. However, on Monday evening, it was reported that Satvir had succumbed to his injuries, leading to the addition of section 302 of the IPC to the case.
