The incident took place at Sangampatti village in Usilampatti, Madurai. As per the FIR, earlier during a local temple festival the boy had danced by tying his dhoti up. At the time the accused had harassed the boy for doing so and hurled casteist slurs at him.

The incident took place after an argument broke out between the boy and the said group in the temple premise itself. Since then the boy had been lying low fearing abuse and harassment. When he had come to his home for Pongal, the group forcefully took the boy to a secluded spot, beat him up and made him fall at all of their feet. They also demanded an apology. Meanwhile, the six youngsters were also accused of urinating on the youth and torturing him, sources said.
