Summary:
The gang summoned a local doctor who examined the ragpicker and declared him dead. The victims had been living in a makeshift colony, comprising approximately 1,000 inhabitants, on a plot of land owned by one of the suspects, Basu Reddy, for the past couple of months. By Tuesday, most of the residents had abandoned the makeshift colony. They tried to intervene, but the gang chased them away warning they would be next. Ajmal Sheikh, one of the victims, alleged that the gang beat them with plastic pipes and administered electric shocks, all the time asking about the motor and wires..
