Solomon bore grudge against Mallesh and hatched a plan to kill him. He sought the assistance of his friend, Rajender. The duo, along with another friend, Alagar, invited the realtor for a party in Neredmet in the last week of April. After consuming liquor, Solomon allegedly hit Mallesh with a stick till the latter fell unconscious.
