Police also retrieved the clothes Pavithra wore on the day of the incident. Searches were conducted at the homes of other suspects, including Vinay and Deepak, where additional evidence was found.
Four suspects were taken to Chitradurga for an inquest, and during this time, Arun Kumar attended his father’s funeral. Searches at Arun Kumar’s and Raghavendra’s homes led to the seizure of cash and gold. Additionally, a taxi driver’s car, used in the kidnapping, was confiscated, and Renukaswamy’s clothes were recovered from the location where his body was disposed of.
