The DGP’s office has also requested a detailed report from the Meerut police.

Five People, Including Accused’s Father, in Custody
The main suspect’s house has been sealed, with police suspecting family assistance in the escape. The father of the primary accused is in police custody for intense questioning. Four other individuals have also been detained, with authorities hoping to gather critical leads from them.

To maintain law and order, police officials have established a permanent camp in Kapsad village. CO Ashutosh Kumar, Inspector Dinesh Pratap Singh, and the crime team are patrolling continuously. The strong police presence has created an atmosphere of both fear and strict control. Based on a complaint by the deceased’s son Narsi, police have registered cases against named individuals Paras Som and Sunil, as well as several unidentified persons under serious charges.
