According to the officials, Sampath was among those who had information about the violence and did not share it with the cops involved in investigating the case. Police had asked him twice for several hours along with Pulakeshinagar Congress corporator Abdul Rakeeb Zakir, but have not arrested them yet. Sampath Raj's personal assistant Arun Kumar was detained earlier for allegedly remaining in touch with people involved in the violence.

On the day of August 11, a large mob launched attacks on a police station and the residence of Congress MLA R Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy after an inflammatory social media post by the relative of the legislator. The mob approached the DG Halli police station seeking a case to be registered against the relative Naveen but were enraged after the police did not immediately take up the complaint. The violence, which began late on August 11, died down in the early hours of August 12 after the intervention of senior Congress leaders. The angry mob set the basement of the DJ Halli police station on fire and vandalized the station.
