The Mumbai Crime Branch subsequently contacted the Rajasthan Police, following which a joint operation was launched. The three accused were eventually detained at Kota railway station. Police are expected to seek custody of the accused to investigate their alleged links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the source of the weapons used in the attack, and the identities of those who allegedly provided them with shelter and financial assistance. The suspects were apprehended during a joint operation carried out by the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and the Kota City Police.
