The victim refused and hung up the call again, saying he doesn't wants to escalate the issue.

On the day of the incident, the third defendant called and claimed to be both the defendants’ brother and asked to meet the victim, and this time the victim agreed to meet and resolve the issue.

As agreed, the victim headed to a parking lot along with two friends and met the first and second defendant.

During the discussion the victim politely asked them not to disturb him with the constant calls and to stop bullying him for winning the video game match.

Once the victim headed back to his vehicle, he was surprised to see many vehicles pulling over with about 20 people, who surrounded him and blocked his way.

The three defendants ganged up and began to beat the victim, then one of them hit him with an object on his right eye.
