However, tensions escalated during the interaction, leading to an argument between Salai Thiyam and Pinky, with the latter allegedly taking out a knife from her bag and stabbing Salai Thiyam.

He was immediately rushed to the Community Health Centre for first aid.

Due to the rapid deterioration of his condition, he was transferred to Asian Hospital, Kwakeithel, but was declared brought dead.
