Overview
- Police arrested three suspects on Monday in a joint West Bengal–UP–Bihar operation and plan to present them in a Barasat court.
- Investigators say a UPI payment at the Bally/Nivedita Setu toll, matched with CCTV, linked a mobile number to the suspects and guided interstate raids.
- The men have been identified in police briefings and reports as Raj Singh, Vishal Srivastava and Mayank Mishra, with some accounts naming Vicky Maurya in the group.
- SIT officials describe a professional ambush in which a silver Nissan Micra blocked the SUV, bike-borne shooters fired in under a minute, and stolen vehicles with fake plates were later seized.
- The probe continues into additional conspirators, weapon forensics including a reported Glock 47X, and the source of the Micra traced beyond Bengal, in a case that has drawn intense attention after the state election.
