During technical surveillance, the police observed that Pal and Gupta often switched off their phones in order to evade the police, but they always called the same number. 

As per the official, the suspect, who was tracked down and captured in Haryana, has been brought to Mumbai for questioning but has not yet been arrested in the case.

Both the accused were arrested by Kachchh Police and handed over to Mumbai Police. During primary interrogation, it was found that they were in contact with Lawrence Bishnoi's gang.”
