There, Shivkumar was taken hostage and thrashed severely over money matter. The four accused threatened to kill Shivkumar if he failed to return their money. He was later released and dropped at his home at about 8 pm the next day. But Shivkumar was so scared by the dreadful acts of the accused, he decided to end his life and consumed a poisonous stuff.
