The incident began with a suspect being arrested and interrogated by the robbery and dacoity unit of the capital police.

The victims were then moved to Bangial area, where they were held at a dairy farm. The suspect offered to help the police find the victims' location. A police team was assembled for the rescue mission, which eventually led to a standoff with the suspect inside the farm.
