Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17306 of 2015 (3) dt.23-06-2015 the case diary it is apparent that conduct of one person was found suspicious during course of screening of footage. As per para-45, petitioner including others was apprehended along with firearm and for that Dawath P.S.

Furthermore, all the apprehended accused were interrogated wherein they all made inculpatory extra judicial statement however, without any recovery as well as without having any corroborative piece of evidence though charge sheet had already been submitted.
