The incident, which reportedly occurred on December 29, 2024, has now led to a police case being registered at the Bantwal Rural police station.

As per the complaint filed by Shameer (31), a resident of Badagabelluru, the accused, identified as Tejaksha, allegedly attempted to assault Sinan Paizhi of Uppinangady. On the afternoon of the incident, Sinan had completed a religious ritual at a local residence in Kolattamajalu and was heading back to Uppinangady on his two-wheeler.
