The police are also checking records of the arms licence holders in the area apart from analysing the record of arms dealers there to ascertain the weapon from which bullet might have been fired.

However, the police are still clueless about the perpetrators of the crime. The police reached the spot for the third time to recreate the scene and check angles from where bullet had come. “It was a stray bullet that hit the girl’s leg while falling. Someone had fired bullet into the air which came down and hit the victim,” said Vishaljit Singh, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police. The police believe that the bullet was fired in around 200 to 300 metres from the spot.
