The Investigating Officer (IO) from Baba Haridas Nagar Police Station took charge of the case, sending Rahul for a medical examination in the late hours of the night. Despite efforts, Azad could not be located during the initial search.
"The IO, accompanied by Rahul, returned to the Police Station around midnight, sensing a potential escalation of the quarrel among known parties," said the DCP.
