He took them to a sawmill in the village, where they all went to the terrace. The terrace was already equipped with cigarettes and liquor bottles.

Satish threatened both boys, warning them not to disclose what had happened. He then dropped them near their house on his two-wheeler. Shasidhar's parents initially believed his claim that he had slipped while climbing the stairs, and he was admitted to a hospital in Rajamahendravaram due to the severity of his injuries. However, as the wounds did not heal properly, he was taken to another hospital where he underwent an operation.

Eventually, Shasidhar disclosed to his parents that Satish had pushed him from the terrace. His mother, Lakshmi, went to the police station on Thursday night and filed a complaint, seeking justice for her son.
