Police had identified the suspects, Zahid and Shahid, through closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage. Shahid was killed in a shootout at a police cordon on March 11 while Zahid had managed to flee.

Police have conducted several raids on his house near Bakra Mandi Chowk and Mira Kalan on Chakri Road but to no avail. Therefore, they released wanted sketch of the suspect.
