Police said that the arrests are linked to the firing incident that took place on the intervening night of June 20-21. According to the complainant, Samdarsh Kumar, a resident of Ramdarbar and a property dealer, an unknown person had fired at his car parked outside his house, shattering a window pane. A spent cartridge was recovered from the spot.

An FIR on June 21, under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and relevant sections of the Arms Act was registered at the police station 31.

Police said that during the interrogation, Monu and Pawan confessed to targeting the vehicle to intimidate Monty, a friend of the complainant, due to personal rivalry.
