The police received the first complaint against the accused, Dukka Jayaram, a resident of Ichapuram Mandal in Srikakulam District, on 5 October 2022 and another on 21 March 2023.

As per one of the complainants, Jayaram snatched her black bead and gold chain while walking home near Murali Nagar the day before Dussehra and escaped on a two-wheeler.
