According to Assistant Police Inspector at Versova police station, Bharat Patil told the website, "CCTV footage shows that the man tried different combinations to open the safe before cutting it open with a hacksaw. The police also believe that the man would have destroyed all evidence, had he seen the hidden DVR recording machine. However, he destroyed only one of the 2 CCTV cameras present at the site. We could only see the upper part of his face that included his forehead, eyes, and part of his nose. We looked through our old records and did not find a match. So we asked for help from D N Nagar police and found a man who had similarly shaped eyebrows and bridge of the nose in their 2015 records."

The accused has been identified as 32-year-old Shibu Sahu, a resident of Nallasopara. The police are of the belief that Sahu was tipped off by Ajay Bihari, a watchman who works in a nearby building. In addition to arresting Bihari and Sahu, the police have managed to recover Rs 8 lakh in cash from the accused. Efforts to recover the rest of the stolen goods remain ongoing.
