He was taken to the hospital by some of Samuel's colleagues. Samuel reached Bengaluru on learning about the incident. The boy told him that he does not have clear memory of the night; however, he does remember that two of his acquaintances came to their place when his grandfather was out.

They wanted to drink and smoke up on the occasion of NYE. After the drinks got over, they asked the boy to get more liquor and food. Later, Samuel mentioned that his son was, allegedly, force-fed a spirit-like substance which smelt like a cleaner mixed with a white substance.
