According to reports, the Police Station R.S.

A police team led by Inspector Naveen Angral, SHO of R.S. Pura Police Station, under the supervision of SDPO R.S. Pura, was formed to investigate the case. Through technical assistance and collaboration with Khanauri Police, the team tracked down and arrested the suspect, Parkash Paswan, on October 6, 2024.
Upon interrogation, Parkash Paswan confessed to the murder and revealed details of the crime. He disclosed that his wife, Neha, and he had been living in Badyal Brahmana for the past three months, where he worked as a laborer. The couple initially stayed at the house of Amar Nath, a resident of Badyal Brahmana, and later shifted to the residence of Parveen Kumar, where they lived for the last 20 days.
Parkash confessed that he had doubts about his wife’s character, which led to frequent disputes.
