Suresh of Thiruvarur district surrendered in Chengam court in Thiruvanamalai district on October 10. Tiruchy police then took him into custody for questioning in the jewellery heist case.

Based on this, Suresh was produced before the magistrate on Tuesday. After a hearing, the magistrate scheduled the matter for Wednesday.
It is to be noted Suresh’s mother Kanagavalli (57) of Seeratheru in Tiruvarur district is under judicial custody for possession of 450 gm of stolen valuables.
