During interrogation, the suspects told the police that they entered into a minor altercation with the complainant students accompanying him while making their way out of the venue. After coming out of the campus, they met their friends, who suggested Thakur and his friends should be taught a lesson. They returned to the spot and confronted Thakur and his friends near Boys Hostel No. 8. The situation turned violent and one of their associates stabbed Thakur in the back and another student in the right leg.
