The arrests occurred in Phagwara, Mumbai, Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. A minor from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, who was allegedly involved in the viral MiG fighter aircraft photograph, was apprehended. Another student, a social media influencer from Jammu, escaped before police could apprehend him. Four individuals were arrested on Thursday, and the remaining four on Friday, including Antriksh Dutta and Sahil Singh from Jammu, and Krishna Kumar Rajesh and Bhavishya Karan from Mumbai and Kalyan, respectively. Among the non-students arrested were James Dahiya and Ashutosh from Hamirpur, who work at pizza outlets near the university campus.
