Subsequently, all four were brought before the Bhopal court, where the police sought their remand.

Gang had been active in the city for four years

Investigations have revealed that the gang had been active in the city for four years, targeting and trapping girls in hookah lounges, pubs, and colleges. Following Farhan, Sahil Khan emerged as the second key figure in the gang. Sahil had operated dance classes at two different locations over the past year and a half, including a class named Delight in Old Subhash Nagar. According to Alam, the owner of the premises, Sahil abruptly ceased running the coaching classes four months ago.

Farhan’s sister’s involvement has also been called into question. A victim informed authorities that Farhan’s sister was aware of her brother’s actions and had been pressuring the student.
