Key Questions Answered

Swati Bandla realized her bracelet was missing on August 16 after checking her belongings and reviewing phone media. She found a live session recording from the morning of August 15 which confirmed she was still wearing the 6-gram gold jewelry at that time.

The security staff systematically reviewed CCTV footage across entry points, lifts, floor lobbies, and shared zones to retrace her movements. This thorough tracking allowed them to isolate the exact spot where the bracelet likely slipped off her wrist just seconds before she passed.

The specific location had hosted Independence Day celebrations with over 2,000 people, making a daytime search nearly impossible. However, Swati Bandla and her husband conducted a nighttime search in that area and spotted the bracelet shining in the grass under the lights.
