Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Devesh Kumar Mahla stated that the two proxy students, Sumit Mandoliya and Krishan Kesarwani, were apprehended at the exam center. Due to the severity of the offense, the case was transferred to the Special Staff of New Delhi District, with a dedicated team led by Inspector Sanjay Kumar Gupta conducting the investigation, explained the DCP.

During interrogation, Sumit Mandoliya and Krishan Kesarwani, both MBBS students, revealed the names of their handlers—Prabhat Kumar, 27, and Kishor Lal, 37—who were arrested from a hotel in Noida on Friday.
