Sonkar denied a media report that Martin had been arrested after he surrendered at Chourai Police Station. She said Martin was probably in Chhindwara and the police would have arrested him but the media report alerted him and he went missing.
The police had managed to keep the details of arrests and the ownership of weapon under wraps. An official at the Chourai Police maintained that no one surrendered and that the case was being monitored by Sonkar. He said a car, a rifle and some ammunition had been seized.
