The case was handed over to the then CIA-1 incharge and during investigation, Prashant was arrested for killing Neha, burning her body and dumping it in a canal near Madhuban and arrested Sandeep for assisting Prashant.
The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 42,000 on Prashant and Rs 10,000 on Sandeep Kumar.
