At the same time, the Ghatkopar branch of the Mumbai Crime Branch initiated an independent investigation. Moving with speed, the unit sent a team to Nagaland, which managed to rescue the businessman and catch hold of the three accused persons involved in the kidnapping. After being arrested, the suspects were committed to police custody to await June 16, when their investigations will continue.
The authorities are now investigating the case further to reveal more about it.
