The CCB had filed a chargesheet and submitted to the 1st Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) court. Belagere was arrested following a confession made to police by  Mundewadi, a sharp shooter. Later, he was granted bail. The sharp shooter had reportedly confessed that Belagere had given him a .32 revolver, two bullets and a knife, asking him to kill  Heggaravalli.
