- Probe findings indicate he traveled from Rajkot via Ujjain and Indore to Delhi, reportedly without a ticket, visited temples and stayed at Gujarati Bhavan before the attack, while claiming he intended a protest over stray-dog issues.
- Forensic analysis of his phone is tracing multiple Gujarat numbers he called before and after the incident as security arrangements undergo internal review; the chief minister says she is recovering and will resume public hearings.
