So far, the police had arrested six persons in the case while Aamir Shakeel is cited a suspect and absconding. The Hyderabad police had issued a Look out Circular (LoC) against Rahil Shakeel.

On December 24 early hours, Rahil who was travelling in a high-end car rammed into a police barricade in front of Praja Bhavan at Somajiguda. The local police had caught Rahil who was allegedly in an inebriated condition and shifted him to police station from where he escaped allegedly with the help of police. Some other person was cited accused in the case. The truth tumbled out after an enquiry and Punjagutta Inspector Durga Rao was placed under suspension by Hyderabad CP, K Sreenivasa Reddy.
