As per Telangana Police, they reported the matter to Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and a search was initiated but Vimal ran out of security check and fled.

One CISF official told Millennium Post that they were not informed by Telangana Police that they were bringing criminals with them otherwise they would have been a proper

security cover.

As per complaint given by one Balaraju, Inspector of Police, Cyberabad Commissionerate, in a dacoity case reported in the jurisdiction of Raidugram police station (Cyberabad), they had arrested three people including a woman from Uttar Pradesh.
