According to the complaint filed by Shekar V, 56, a mason from Tiruppur, the harassment began when his elder daughter befriended Karthik on Instagram a few months ago. His daughter, who has been married for five years and lives in east Bengaluru, said Karthik started harassing her to accept his love.
In June, while she was visiting her parental home, Karthik arrived and confronted her in front of her family for not responding to his calls.

The family warned him to stay away, and she returned to her husband's house.
However, Karthik continued calling her and threatened to kill her family if she refused to marry him. On July 17, after another threat call, Shekar and his nephew Prashanth went to meet Karthik at his request near a BMTC bus stop in Malleshpalya.
Karthik insisted on talking at Vibhuthipura. While riding triples on a scooter — Shekar riding, Prashanth in the middle, and Karthik at the back — Karthik suddenly announced that he intended to kill them and slit Prashanth's throat. He then attempted to stab Shekar but fled when bystanders approached.
Prashanth was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. After his arrest the next day, Karthik told investigators that he had bought the knife specifically to attack them.
