The accused, Kasani Mallesh, Gaddam Jangaiah, M. Jagadeesh, and Katla Raju, were identified and detained by the Madgul police. They were found to have excavated soil from the lake, filtered it to extract sand, and transported it without proper authorization around 3 a.m., as per the police statement. The four were subsequently produced before a magistrate at Amangal, and the court ordered their remand to judicial custody for a period of 15 days. Following this, they were transferred to Chanchalguda Central Prison.
