The police records showed that Suresh was earlier acquitted in a double murder case. Speaking to the publication, a senior officer said, “In 2010, he was arrested in a double-murder case after killing two construction workers and stealing ₹480 from them. Though he was out on bail in mid-2012, he was arrested again in an attempt to murder and rape case. He thrashed a man and raped a woman for questioning him for plucking guava from their premises. He was convicted in his case and lived in prison for a decade. Ten months ago, he was released from prison, and he is now arrested again.”

The cop also said that a Kannada actor paid a fine on Suresh's behalf and let him leave on behalf of Suresh and let him walk out of prison. “He was supposed to pay a fine of ₹35,000 and a Kannada actor the amount for his. Suresh never used a mobile phone or credit or debit card as he did not want anyone to track him. He has a younger sister who lives in Uttarahalli, and he did not visit her, either. With the help of his brother-in-law, we traced him,” the senior cop said.
