The inspection was carried out around 12 noon at a building owned by Antony James Alukka of Global Heat Treatment and Services Ltd., Karnataka. The building had been rented to Lisy (57), a native of Talappilly.

Lisy, who allegedly led the group, was not present when the police conducted the inspection. Police also recovered ₹18,000 in cash and nine mobile phones from the premises during the inspection. Further investigation is underway.
