The video footage circulated on social media platforms gaining widespread condemnation. After Netizens brought the issue to the attention of Bengaluru City police by tagging the official account of them, the police took appropriate action against the miscreants.
Reportedly, Suresh pressured Umashankar and Vinesh to expedite their work processes, especially in clearing the daily transactions, a task which previously demanded several days to complete. Frustrated by the demands, Umashankar and Vinesh purportedly sought the gang to carry out the assault on Suresh.
The violent attack on the Heritage Milk Product employee took place near Kalyan Nagar on the Outer Ring Road on March 31. After the spreading of the attack, the Hennur police station immediately initiated investigation, which led to the arrest of five individuals on April 5.
