The post included a video showing the state of their new home, with trollies, bags, and suitcases left in disarray. According to the social media post, a bag valued at approximately ₹8 lakhs went missing during the move. The contents of the bag reportedly included ₹2 lakh in cash, a pair of gold earrings, two gold bangles, and other crucial items.

Both the local police and the company's manager are said to have acknowledged that the theft was committed by the moving team, which consisted of seven people. Further details were provided by the complainant, who described the chaos left behind after the move.

The video showed important documents scattered on the floor, with several items either missing or damaged. Among the lost or damaged items, high-end perfumes, rare pens, and valuable property papers were listed. Additionally, some furniture and household belongings were reportedly damaged.

Mayank expressed his frustration, stating, "The most horrific 48 hours of my life. I had to shift my house on 14th August, for which I had hired a movers & packers company 'Halef International Pvt Ltd'. But that turned out to be the worst decision & the biggest nightmare of my life."

The company was criticized for allegedly evading responsibility, with Mayank stating, "Yet the company @halefint2019 is shrugging from the responsibility by saying only their staff is responsible, NOT US. @BlrCityPolice at Vidyaranyapura Police Station also do not seem to be serious."

The FIR filed by the police reportedly named only one suspect omitted the addresses of the accused, and included less severe IPC sections than expected. Mayank added, "Both I & my wife haven't slept for over 48 hours & are living the biggest nightmare of our life. It is emotionally very challenging for my wife as a few stolen things belong to her mother who is in a coma for the past 15 months. WE ARE MENTALLY & EMOTIONALLY BROKEN."

The user pleaded for assistance from local political leaders and law enforcement agencies, requesting that the moving company face severe penalties and that their license be revoked. Halef International Pvt Ltd responded with a detailed statement, noting, "It's important to remember that every situation has multiple perspectives. Let the police investigation and judicial process reveal the truth based on facts and evidence."

Further details are expected as the investigation into the matter continues.
