The tragic incident occurred within the Ashokapuram police station limits, though initial reports mentioned Lakshmipuram jurisdiction. The attacker, Abhishek, hailing from Kyatanahalli village in Pandavapura taluk, Mandya district, reportedly approached Poornima and stabbed her after she rejected his romantic advances.
