According to a press release issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Police, Giridih, the first incident took place on July 11 near Mangal Murti Marriage Hall under Mufassil police station limits, where two unidentified motorcycle-borne criminals snatched a gold chain from a woman at around 6:00 pm. Later the same evening, at around 7:00 pm, another woman was targeted in a similar chain-snatching incident near Barganda Power House under Town police station limits. Separate cases were registered at the respective police stations.

Considering the seriousness of the crimes, Superintendent of Police Giridih constituted an SIT under the leadership of the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (Sadar).
