When Satish questioned his behaviour and pushed him out of the bar cabin, Alagesh, enraged, accused Satish of siding with Narasimha and threatened to kill him. He then attacked Satish with a knife, stabbing him in the head and abdomen in an attempt to murder him.

After committing the crime, Alagesh fled to his hometown in Tamil Nadu. Based on a complaint filed by the severely injured Satish Acharya, a case was registered at Padubidri police station.
