The role of uncle and nephew appeared suspicious in the police investigation. When the investigation turned towards him, it was found that Sundar owed money to some people.

After firing, he threw the pistol in the pond, which was later recovered. In the case, the police have arrested both the accused uncle Sundar and nephew Himanshu alias Anshu.
