Adi Shekhar is the son of Arunkumar, a teacher at Poovachal Pulingode Arunodaya and Sheeba. The incident took place in front of Pulingode Bhadrakali temple at around 5:30 pm on August 30. The child who was cycling in front of the temple was hit by the car driven by Priyaranjan. However, when the CCTV footage of the incident, which was thought to be an accidental death, was examined, the mystery and suspicion arose.

Accused Priyaranjan runs a tattoo center in Dubai. He is also a close relative of Adisekhar.
