According to the authorities, Felix, who the victims had previously worked with, is the main suspect. It is still unknown who Felix’s travelling companions, the other two suspects, are.

According to sources, Phanindra and Vinu Kumar founded the Aeronics company in November 2022. Prior to that, Felix served as the senior colleague of Phanindra and Vinu Kumar in a private company on Bannerghatta Road.

The business offered internet services. After quitting their employment, the victims later founded Aeronics Internet Company, and Felix thought Phanindra and Kumar were taking business away from his company. Additionally, employees informed authorities that Felix believed Aeronics was the source of his company’s financial crisis.
