Initial investigation indicates a burglary with around Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 stolen from the manager's cash locker. The perpetrator, wearing a mask and gloves, disabled the CCTV cameras before the theft. Adavath added that they await the management's formal complaint before Subramanyanagar police proceed with further investigation.
The security guard's statement suggests the burglar carried what looked like a pistol, though this remains unconfirmed. Investigators believe the perpetrator's primary objective was theft, which was successfully executed.
