The police said that Sridhar works as a freelance photographer and is a bachelor. He would come to Bengaluru whenever he faced a financial crisis and once here, he would break open the locks of the motorcycles parked on the side of the road in residential localities and then steal the bikes and then ride them back to Tukamuru.
Police further said that Sridhar would wear a full-face helmet to avoid being stopped by the police for helmetless riding.
According to the police Sridhar sold most of the 30 bikes stolen by him among his friends and relatives in Tukamuru. When they asked him for the original papers of the motorcycles, he would often tell the gullible buyers that he would arrange for the papers as he had misplaced them somewhere and asked them to pay up as he desperately needed the money.
