Why did Babu agree to steal from clients?

She fell to the ground, and Babu, panicking, assumed she was dead. He then moved her body to her bedroom to make it look like she died peacefully in her sleep. However, the old lady was actually drugged by Bujji's contaminated water bottle, not killed by Babu directly.

Foreshadowing: Bujji had already drugged the old lady's water bottle before Babu arrived at the apartment complex.

Why did the police let Babu and Yesu go free?
