While the motive behind the attack remains unclear, police are investigating possible links to organized groups or individual grievances.
The accused was captured on CCTV cameras exiting the premises shortly after the alleged attack. The footage played a crucial role in identifying and apprehending the suspects.

The accused was hiding in the Prabhadevi area. Police have tracked his location and are investigating further. Based on dump data from the time of the incident, the accused was identified. Police gathered information about active mobile networks in the area, which helped confirm his identity.
