Police arrested all three accused of further questioning, and it was revealed that their documents were obtained by one agent, namely Sandeep Kumar and that in order to facilitate their journey, the agent collected a certain amount from each person, a fraction of which was paid in cash, and the rest was transferred to his account.

A team was formed with particular tasks to gather information about the accused agent’s current presence and movement, and raids were undertaken at his potential locations. He was later apprehended and arrested.
