The investigation against Anwar, who was a civil police officer at Kayamkulam police station, was ordered by SP Chaithra Teresa John. Anwar is currently a Senior Civil Police Officer in the Kollam Crime Branch Unit.
The incident took place at a 'Kudumbamela' (family fair) held at Kayamkulam station in May 2022. Anwar's son took the revolver at the station and can be seen playing with it. A year later it appeared in some social media groups. It was also shared to social media groups including those of the police.
