Investigations revealed that around 4 am on June 6, Surender received a call. The caller informing him that the prime accused, Piyush and Ankush, were on their way to Hisar after the killing of Sonu Naulta outside Amaravati Mall. Surender arranged a place to hide for them and later helped shift them to another location. He is also accused of taking their weapons to a different place.

The police said the accused further assisted Piyush in receiving treatment for a gunshot wound he sustained during the assault on Naulta. He was also involved in creating and circulating a video after the murder. His full criminal background is now under scrutiny, and investigators are probing his wider role in the conspiracy.
