The complaint stated that a bicycle was stolen in Andersonpet and the value of the bicycle was two hundred and fifty rupees. Based on the complaint, the Andersonpet police registered a case.
Later during the investigation, it was discovered that Pasha John was involved in the crime. After that a case was registered against him under theft case. A charge sheet was filed before the court on this allegation. But he did not appear in the court that day. Thus, the judge issued a non-bailable warrant order in 1985. Since then Pasha John has been missing.
