Authorities further detained two individuals found loitering near the vehicles on suspicion of involvement. Both hail from South Tripura district and are currently being interrogated.

The raid was conducted under the supervision of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Nirupam Dutta, Officer-in-Charge Gautam Debbarma, and Inspector Babul Mahajan, among others. Police also recovered several number plates from the vehicles, suggesting attempts to conceal their identity.
