Following the incident, a heavy contingent of police raided different Gadani villages and arrested Sadiq, Ameer, Zameer, Mushtaq, Mohammad Hassan, Abdul Samad, Aijaz, Lutuf Ali, Nazar Mohammad and Suhno. According to Ghotki SP Investigation Yar Mohammad Rind, the police have also seized four Kalashnikov rifles, two G-3 rifles, three pistols and a sizable quantity of bullets.
