Anand Kumar said, "A SIT has been formed under the Superintendent of Police, Rural Area (SPRA). A forensic science team, the Special Operations Group (SOG) and a team of experts have been included in the SIT to conduct the investigation on a fast-track basis. The POCSO Act will also be there in the case..." The Aligarh police stated that POCSO had been applied though the post-mortem didn't find evidence of rape. It denied reports of the eyes of the victim being gouged out and invoked the National Security Act against the accused due to the seriousness of the crime. The investigation of the forensic science laboratory of Agra did not come to any conclusion on sexual assault, so the police applied for permission to consult another forensic science laboratory in Lucknow and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in Chandigarh. The report stated that the rotting of the skin gave the perception that her eyes were gouged out and her arm had been detached from the body due to being eaten at by insects. She had also suffered a fracture in her left leg and her rib bones had pierced the chest. Arrest of suspects Zahid Ali and Aslam were arrested on 4 June and confessed to killing the victim over the unpaid loan of 10,000 rupees. Zahid's wife Shabusta and his brother Mehdi Hasan were arrested on 8 June for "criminal conspiracy" and "causing disappearance of evidence of offence".
