As per the police, Anjaiah was playing holi with other villages on Tuesday, when they came across Md Shabbir, and wanted to apply holi colours on him. But Shabbir opposed it, asking them not to do it.
 
 
When the latter insisted, Shabbir threatened that he will burn him by pouring petrol if he applies colour if he applies colour. It is notable that Shabbir and Anjaiah were friends.
 
But Anjaiah ignored his objection and threats, perhaps he thought that Shabbir was joking, and threw colours on him anyway. After that, he proceeded to apply colours to Shabbir’s face, despite his objections.
 
This angered Mohammed Shabbir, and he left the place, but returned with a bottle of petrol. He poured the fuel on Anjaiah and set him on fire. The villagers promptly arrived and rescued the victim by dousing the fire. But still, he suffered serious burn injuries, and he was taken to the Sangareddy Government Hospital.
