The SI had asked them to report to the police station the next day. However, under the stress that he would be tortured by the police, Prasanth resorted to this drastic step.

Prasanth died on Saturday after struggling for days in the hospital. The DGP initiated action against SI Uday Kiran after the victim's relatives filed a complaint against him.
