He is currently recovering at the hospital.
Initial investigation has revealed that the accused and Santosh were all part of a organisation and Santosh had parted ways from the organisation two years ago due to conflict of interest. Santosh reportedly had issues with the ideology of the organisation and was opposing it. The opposition of the organisation had triggered the attack on October 17, police sources added.
