After dumping the body, they fled and concealed the weapons near their residence.
Acting swiftly on credible information, coordinated police teams from OU Sity Police Station, Nallakunta Police Station, and Task Force East Zone apprehended the accused on 03.12.2025. The teams recovered the Xylo car, two bikes, iron rod, knife, mobile phones, and the clothes worn during the offence.
