Based on a complaint lodged with the Oshiwara police by the residents, two bullets were recovered from Nalanda Society—one on the second floor and another on the fourth floor. One flat belongs to a writer-director, and the other to a model. 

After launching a thorough investigation into the case, the cops were able to find out with the help of a forensic team that the bullets were fired from Kamaal R Khan’s bungalow.
