Suspecting that Kudchirkar is under the influence of alcohol, the police conducted an alcometer test and found him to be heavily drunk. They later told him to go away and bring his vehicles documents and come along with a license-holder rider to take his motorbike at home. Kudchirkar started abusing them again. After sometime he came with documents but instead of showing documents he again started abusing PSI Gad. The verbal arguments led to manhandling of the officers by the Kudchirkar.
