The arrested suspects are Madduri Sai, Kinnera Raju, Elkathurthi Raju, and Manukola Pavan Kumar. Kanaparthi Manikanta is currently absconding.
Authorities seized a TVS Jupiter scooter, a Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle, silver bangles, five cell phones, and other items from the suspects.

Police have advised families to ensure elderly individuals living in rural areas are not left alone, to remain cautious regarding valuable jewelry, and to install CC cameras in villages. They also requested that information regarding suspicious persons or antisocial activities be reported.
