Police informed that four persons have been identified and will be taken into custody shortly. Speaking to ANI, Meerut Inspector General, Ram Kumar, said "According to documents, this land belonged to a builder. We have identified four persons related to that and are in the process of taking them into custody. We will file an FIR and take the harshest action against culprits."
