Initially, CCTV footage from the scene did not provide any leads. However, a forensic analysis later suggested that the bullets may have been fired from Khan's bungalow. This evidence led investigators to identify him as the prime suspect in the case. The police have seized his weapon and are currently working on further legal documentation. Khan, who frequently courts controversies, is best known for Bigg Boss 3 and Ek Villain.
