While checking the CCTV footage of the incident, it was clear that he attacked Sona without any provocation. Sona, who works as a waiter, was stabbed while she was serving him food. Sriram also threatened others who were in the restaurant when they tried to approach them.

Investigators said that anyone with information about Sriram or his attack on Sona should contact London police as soon as possible. Also, those who did not wish to divulge their information could contact the charitable organisation Crime Stoppers, which helps in police investigation. Officials at the University of East London, where Sona is studying, said they were cooperating with the investigation.
