The following day, i.e., May 20, Sanatombi left for Kwairamband Keithel to collect some money from colleagues as she though that she might need more money for her son's treatment by leaving her elder son Shantikumar.

As the matter is a police case the police took some signature and deposited at RIMS morgue and the post mortem was conducted on may 21 .
"We believe that the police will investigate into how my son was death and as we suspect our son to have been murdered, we waited for the police to find the truth.", Sanahanbi further said.
"Shardha of my son is over and nothing has been done, I have no choice but to plead for justice for my son to the people of the state", Sanatombi said.
Another lady who companied her said that if we formed a JAC and launched agitation the government could have done something.
"But as now believed in police and as we are hopeful that they will find out the truth to punish those involved in the murderers we waited, however, as the police is not taking up anything to find the truth, we are left with no choice but to put up this matter to the public sphere, so that justice is delivered to our departed son", said Sanatombi, mother of the deceased youth.
