A breakthrough for the police came with the CCTV camera footage that had recorded the entire robbery. The technical team took the entire call dump of the area to see any suspect calls being made. The location of Harmeet was found on the same spot as the incident and the locations of other members of the gang could also be traced. The use of pepper spray led the police to narrow down on the Pepper Gang that was led by Kala.

Police rounded up Kala at the Shahbad petrol pump. He informed the police about the modus operandi and his accomplices. Harmeet was later nabbed and a firearm was seized from him.

Some part of the loot was also recovered. Saurabh is yet to be arrested.
