Ongoing Investigation Efforts
Police have revealed that Kumar's family members have not pointed to any specific suspects or indicated any known enmity that could have motivated the attack. This lack of leads has prompted investigators to intensify their efforts, with a focus on reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the movements of the attackers. Authorities are working diligently to identify and apprehend the accused at the earliest possible opportunity.
