Police said the attack was an act of revenge. The main accused, Abhilash, believed the victim was the reason his wife was jailed in a theft case. On Friday, the accused pretended to be friends and tricked the man into coming to a flat in Maruthoor. Once he arrived, they started abusing him and brutally beat him with the back of an axe and knuckle dusters.

The third accused, Saritha, then poured chilli water all over the man's body, causing him to lose consciousness. During the assault, the group also threatened the victim and forced him to sign documents to hand over his scooter. After he fainted, the accused took him to another flat in Chemboor. They held him there illegally for three days, continuing the assault, before finally abandoning him and fleeing the scene.
