Talking to TOI, SP, Mukul Dwivedi said while the suspects had been arrested one of his other associate, also called Munna, is still absconding. He said a hunt is on for him and he is likely to be arrested soon.
Meanwhile Asma told TOI that her family had been getting threatening calls. She said someone called up her father and threatened him of dire consequences if they did not withdraw the case. She said though the calls had disturbed them, they were committed to pursuing the case.
