In response to the complaint, Superintendent of Police in Nurpur initiated swift action under FIR No. 21/2024, Section 420 IPC. A specialized team was assembled, led by the officer in charge of the Saduan Police Post, in collaboration with the Cyber Cell. The team undertook technical analysis, digital tracking, and financial transaction tracing across various states.


Previously, one suspect, Mahabir Kumar, was arrested in connection with this case. Further investigations revealed the involvement of Noor Alam, a resident of South Telua in the Nautan area of West Champaran district, Bihar. Based on digital evidence, Noor Alam has also been taken into custody.
