According to officials, the weapon was recovered from the main accused in the case and has been handed over to a forensic science laboratory for ballistic tests. The Mumbai Police Anti-Extortion Cell has so far arrested 12 individuals connected to the incident, including the shooter Deepak Sharma. Several others, including Aditya Gayaki, Siddharth Yenpure, Samarth Pomaji, Swapnil Sakat and Asaram Fasale, were apprehended for providing logistical and weapon support to the shooter.
