Police recovered an automatic pistol, eight live rounds, two magazines, Rs 14,000 in cash, and the Bolero used in transit. SP Prasad also revealed that Chandramohan had a criminal history and was previously jailed in 2007, later released in 2023. He is suspected to be involved in several illegal activities. Further investigation is underway to identify his associates and uncover the full extent of his criminal network.
