Soon, a large number of public gathered at the spot, not to shift the injured to the hospital, but to take pictures and videos of the injured Srinivas who was suffering from severe bleeding due to the crash, thus exhibiting their inhuman behaviour.

Meanwhile, Dr. Amithesh, Orthopaedic Surgeon at JSS Hospital, who was passing by, saw Srinivas in a pool of blood and shifted him in his car to JSS Hospital. But Srinivas died before the commencement of treatment, it is learnt.
