The community identified three suspects who were hiding inside a nearby container and brought them to the stabbing location. They were subjected to severe beatings by the community members and set on fire. When the police arrived at the scene, they were unable to exit their vehicle due to threats from the community.

One of the suspects was then seen running around the police vehicle, seeking assistance. The vehicle can be seen with bloodstains on the exterior due to the suspect running around it.
