Malailiswamy alias Siva from the Theni district of Tamil Nadu came to Chandrayanagutta in Hyderabad a few years ago for employment. He used to make snacks, but he could not survive as his income was not sufficient. His uncle Raja Stalin from Tamil Nadu was arrested by the Munipalli Police of Sangareddy district in 2021 in a ganja case. In order to bring him on bail, Malailiswamy came into contact with Rajesh from Kerala. Rajesh was already involved in ganja smuggling.
On learning that Malailiswamy was in financial trouble, Rajesh promised him money and encouraged him to supply ganja. He hoped that if he hires him as his driver and transports ganja for one trip, he will pay Rs.1.50 lakhs. At the same time, Ramar from the Theni district of Tamil Nadu came to Chandrayanagutta for employment. Malailiswamy, who hired Ramar as his assistant, used to bring ganja from Odisha as per Rajesh's orders. Twice in the past, he had given more than 500 kg of ganja to Rajesh. In turn, Rajesh sold ganja to his agents in Hyderabad, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.
