The victim has been identified as Rajesh Kumar, a native of Uttar Pradesh residing in Vattinagulapally, Gachibowli. Kumar worked as a construction worker and contract labourer.

According to reports, Kumar took money from the contractor, under the guise of paying employees, but he did not distribute the wages. This led to an argument with the accused and two others.
