Prakash began robbing when he was in SSLC in the year 1978.

He is the husband of three wives, having seven children. His brother Varadaraj, sons Balraj, Mithun, and son-in-law John were partners in crime.

In the year 1997, he had stolen 7 kg of gold in Goa and recently 4 kg of gold from a jewellery shop at Sheshadripuram.

As the Rajajinagar Police were in a search for Prakash, at the same time, they had a theft case registered that had taken place a couple of days back at a house in Rajajinagar.
