The deceased was later identified by his first name as Sheenu, who used to live on a tricycle under a temporary tent at the location. Investigators said that Sheenu would beg and even sleep on the tricycle or the nearby footpath.

According to the police, several broken bricks were discovered at the scene, which the suspects used to hit Sheenu on the head multiple times, resulting in his death.

According to investigators, based on the scenario, a scuffle occurred between the suspected killers and the deceased, as the prosthetic leg he used to wear was discovered separated at the scene.
