The duo was earlier apprehended by the police in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, in June 2024 in connection with a theft case in Pala. They were jailed alongside Santosh Selvam for three months. After their release, the two relocated to Kochi, where they plotted their next move culminating in robberies at Mannanchery.
