Each had previously admitted guilt to a violence charge.  ,
Sridharan, 30, Manojkumar, 32, and Sashikumar, 34, were people of a secret society class.  ,
Another man, Asvain Pachan Pillai Sukumaran, 30, was earlier handed a death command after he allegedly killed the original boy, 29-year-old Mohammad Isrrat Mohd Ismail. His situation is pending.  ,
Six other gentlemen, between 25 and 33 years older, were named in court papers as co-accused who took part in the mob. The other five people who were named in the records were close friends with this class.  ,
Former Club Rumours bouncers Muhammad Shahrulnizam Osman, 30, and Isrrat’s companion and a secret world member, Muhammad Shahrulnizam, 30, were also involved.  ,
THE Event
On Aug 19, 2023, from about 11pm, a group of at least 10 persons, including several of the accused, started drinking at different venues.  ,
They ended up eating at Concorde Hotel and Shopping Mall’s Club Rumours.  ,
At 4.46am, Isrrat and his companion Shahrulnizam arrived. Isrrat had wanted to pass his bride offer cards to club team, and they , sat near the entrance of the team, opposite the accused people.  ,
By that point, the club’s chief boy was on call because he discovered that members of the accused’ team were members of secret societies. He made this known to the other bouncers who were on the move, and they later armed themselves with knives. Isrrat did also.  ,
At about 6am, as the team was closing, Isrrat shouted a vulgarity at the accused’s party. After a short verbal change, the accused people confronted Isrrat and Shahrulnizam, during which , Isrrat punched Asvain.
Between the accused people and Isrrat and Shahrulnizam, shoving and pushing occurred. Before Isrrat and Shahrulnizam ran up into Concorde, the fight moved towards a small, undeveloped place along Kramat Lane. They were chased by several team members who kicked and punched Isrrat.  ,
As Isrrat was running up in, he stabbed someone in the face.  ,
While Shahrulnizam was able to reclaim the club, the accused’s team chased Isrrat near, hitting and kick him near an indoor escalator, and escaped.  ,
Isrrat was later caught by group members at a glass door exit, where they punched and kicked him before he rose and fled to an outside area.
As the assault continued,  , Asvain picked up a small blade that Isrrat had dropped, and stabbed him several times. Isrrat was kicked once more by Sudharan as a result of another person’s stomp on him.  ,
After the party fled, Club Rumours workers called for an ambulance for Isrrat, who was bleeding heavily. He was taken to a hospital where he was later declared deceased at 6.59 am.  ,
Asvain left in a vehicle with four others, including Sridharan and Manojkumar. He suggested that the five of them get their passports , and escape to Johor Bahru to evade imprisonment.
All of them were arrested at the Woodlands Checkpoint.
In the end, the remaining accused were likewise detained. Two of them- Sashikumar and Raja, 28, surrendered to the officers while Puthenvilla, 26, was arrested at Woodlands Checkpoint.  ,
32 injuries were discovered in Isrrat’s system, as well as eight stab wounds to his lower back and stomach, according to an autopsy on him.  , The cause of suicide was stab wounds to his neck.  ,
Shahrulnizam was previously ordered by the court to serve 12 wood strokes and two years and nine months in prison.  ,
District Judge Eddy Tham, who handed down the sentence, said that the court considered violence with violence serious because it could result in varying degrees of harm that “goes to the intense.”  ,
The determine noted that group violence could rise naturally and quickly in the heat of the moment, being encouraged by one another, and continue without restraint or control.  ,
In this instance, Judge Tham described the connection to secret societies as “tenuous,” as the accused were among companions celebrating a day.  ,
He found the button to have been Isrrat shouting obscenities.  ,
Rioting carries a prison term of up to seven times, and punishment.  ,
