During the investigation, the police came to know that an arms smuggler, Nadeem, had supplied the murder weapon to Abhijit's PSO Parvesh, who then handed it over to Abhijit, who killed Divya. The police team is still conducting raids in search of Nadeem. Sandeep Gadoli was killed in an encounter by the Gurugram Police at a hotel in Mumbai in 2016.

At that time, Divya was with Sandeep Gadoli. The police personnel were accused of carrying out a "fake encounter", and Divya Pahuja was also involved in it. After being in jail for a long time, Divya Pahuja came out of jail only in 2023. After getting bail, Divya Pahuja came in contact with Abhijeet Singh.

On January 2, Abhijeet along with his companions Balraj and Divya had reached Hotel City Point where Abhijeet shot and killed Divya after an altercation when Divya refused to disclose her mobile phone password. After killing Pahuja, Singh handed over her body to his associates Balraj and Ravi Banga by giving them a BMW car and Rs 10 lakh.

The accused had thrown Divya's body in the Bhakra Canal in Patiala, Punjab. Divya's body was recovered from the Bhakra Canal in Fatehabad district of Haryana, 12 days after she was killed. So far, the police have arrested Balraj, Abhijeet Singh, his PSO Pravesh, his friend Megha, hotel employees Hemraj and Om Prakash in this murder case
