In her statement to the police, Sudhir's wife Anjali said, "The incident took place on October 18 when Sudhir, who was handicapped and did not go out for work, was shouting at his mother." She further said, "Around 10.50 pm, Tambe came home drunk. When he saw Sudhir shouting, he asked him why he was not amicable with others at home and why was it necessary for him to fight all the time."


Speaking to Hindustan Times, senior inspector Gajanan Kabdule from Khar police station said, "Both of them started arguing, during which Tambe picked up a grinding stone and warned that if Sudhir doesn't listen to him and stop shouting, he will hit him with the stone."

"Sudhir told Tambe to go ahead and hit him. After warning several times, Tambe smashed the grinding stone on Sudhir’s head. Sudhir started bleeding and was taken to Cooper Hospital," Kabdule added.
