The Army soldier's brother described the horror and claimed that DMK councillor Chinnasamy started the conflict. Later that evening, according to Prabhakar, as his father and his buddy were having a conversation, Chinnasamy arrived and started hoisting up his father, who then instructed him to take his brother inside.
"Our brawl broke out when we were washing clothes during the day. Then in the evening the councillor came to our home, started abusing my father & then attacked him with a knife," he stated.
Opposition parties responded to the event by claiming that because a DMK councillor was involved, the police took too long to respond. However, District SP Sarojkumar Thakur refuted the claims and emphasised that Prabhu's death was the result of an attack and had nothing to do with politics. Thakur stated that Prabhu and Chinnasamy were related.
In order to achieve justice, Thakur promised that rumour mongers will unquestionably be prosecuted and that police would support the victim's family in whatever way possible.
