In relation to the case, 22 inquiries were conducted, involving 126 individuals as witnesses, and over 100 items were seized by the police. A police officer revealed that their investigation found that a business rivalry between Deshkaal Network Pvt. Ltd. (Gnet) and Aironics led to the double murder.
