Ashok K.V. elaborated on the motive behind the crime, revealing that the victims had engaged in a treasure hunt with Pataraju for a duration of 6-7 months, entrusting him with a significant sum of 6 lakhs. When the anticipated treasure remained undiscovered even after an extended period, and Pataraju failed to reimburse the money, the victims threatened legal action.
Under mounting pressure, Pataraju, in collusion with Gangaraju and six accomplices - Madhusudhan, Naveen, Krishna, Ganesh, Kiran, and Simon - orchestrated a plan to lure the victims to Biranakallu village, where they were subsequently murdered. The perpetrators then attempted to conceal their crime by setting fire to the vehicle containing the victims' bodies.
Tumkur Inspector General of Police Ravikanthe Gowda and District Superintendent of Police Ashok K.V. commended the diligent efforts of the Tumkur Police in apprehending the accused individuals involved in the heinous crime.
