The police have seized two cars, two bikes, a talwar (sword), and a dagger as part of their investigation. The FIR was filed based on the initial information available on May 20, and additional charges may be added as more details from the video are reviewed.

According to SP Dr. Arun K, the Garuda Gang is currently not very active, and the infighting is believed to stem from jealousy between different factions, contributing to the gang's decline.

Both vehicles moved forward, and two youths were seen attacking the fallen man.
In a related incident, a 19-year-old from Barkur in Brahmavar filed a complaint alleging that between May 13 and May 17, an individual named Dhanush gave him a car to sell. Mohammed Fazil, an acquaintance, took the car for a test drive and allegedly handed it over to Isak and others, who reportedly damaged the vehicle, causing a loss of Rs 2 lakh. They are also accused of placing a talwar in the car to commit robbery.
