In December 2023, an attempted gold theft took place at a jewellery shop situated in the Shanubhogue complex near NH 66 in Thekkatte. Following the analysis of CCTV footage, three individuals were successfully apprehended by Kota police, acting under the orders of SP Dr. Arun K, after three months.
The arrested individuals are identified as Arshit Avinash Dodre, also known as Mohammed Arshad (23), residing in Nanthoor, Rizwan (24), a resident of Byndoor Paduvari, and Mohammed Arbaaz (23), residing in Paduvari, Byndoor.

Subsequently, on December 29, 2023, two masked robbers armed with lethal weapons attempted to break into a jewellery shop within the Shanubhogue complex, as well as other nearby shops.
The robbery attempt was recorded by CCTV cameras installed in the complex, with the footage later circulating on social media. However, no complaint was filed by the shop owner with the police.
