• Postmortem findings and visible injuries prompted Delhi Police to register offences under the BNS and POCSO Act and launch a multi-team investigation.
• Authorities traced 28-year-old Naushad to Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, using CCTV footage, technical surveillance and local intelligence, leading to his arrest on June 10.

• Sub-Inspector Kaushik Ghosh fired warning shots followed by a leg shot that incapacitated Naushad, who now faces additional charges for assaulting police personnel.
