​The manager utilised the vehicle’s integrated GPS tracking system to trace the truck’s movement. Although the vehicle was recovered abandoned near Badduwal village just an hour later, the suspects had already offloaded the batteries and fled the scene.

Following a technical investigation, police tracked down and arrested three residents of Said Jalalpur village in Moga. They have been identified as Lakhvir Singh alias Lakha,​ Gurjant Singh alias Janta, and Manpreet Singh alias Manna.
