Later, police recovered 8 vehicles from Salman Khan, 8 vehicles from Mohsin, 8 vehicles were recovered from Shahrukh and 12 vehicles were recovered from Salman Husain and Parvez. The accused allegedly confessed that they had stolen the two-wheeler vehicles from the city and adjacent districts.

The accused revealed that Salaman and Mohsin sold some of the stolen vehicles to Mohammad Juber and Nadim Khan of Sadar Bazaar. Later, Juber and Nadim were arrested with 8 stolen two-wheelers.
