Acting on a tip-off, the police first apprehended two suspects — Nishan Singh, a resident of Baba Himmat Singh Colony in Nadala, and Sandeep Singh from Hambowal under Subhanpur police station jurisdiction. The duo was allegedly trying to sell a stolen motorcycle and an electric motor fan when they were caught.

During interrogation, the two suspects revealed the name of their accomplice, Harjeet Singh, alias Jeeta, also a resident of Hambowal. Based on their disclosure, the police quickly moved in and arrested Harjeet as well. Following his arrest, the police recovered two stolen motorcycles and a scooter on his identification.
