The team scanned the CCTV footage from the cameras installed near the crime scene and one camera caught the incident. Efforts were made to trace the accused. After a long spell of investigation, the team made a detailed interrogation from one Gulshan alias Sunny and Vishal Saini who were arrested by them in another case of mobile snatching. After sustained interrogation, Gulshan broke down and spoke like a canary. He confessed to having committed the crime when confronted with the footage. At his instance, other arrests were made.
