As per the recent media report by NDTV, "The men were shot at during a land dispute on Thursday and two of them were brought to our facility. The wife of the man who died asked us to let her wipe the blood from the bed with a cloth so she could use it as evidence of the extent of the bleeding. She was not asked to clean the bed. I have not received any complaint from the woman or her family," he said.
The Gadasarai police have registered a case against seven accused individuals on multiple charges, including murder. Further investigation into the shooting is underway, and while a few suspects have already been taken into custody, efforts continue to apprehend the remaining accused.
