The Madhya Pradesh Police had appointed a special team to investigate the incident. After this, a person was arrested in the case.

The police team examined the CCTV footage of an area of about eight kilometers. It was during this inspection that footage of the girl getting into the auto was found at Jeevankheri side. Then the auto was taken into custody and blood stains were found in the vehicle. The response of the police is that a detailed forensic examination is going on in the auto-rickshaw that has been taken into custody.
