Speaking to the PTI news agency, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Vidya Sagar Mishra said, "The car which was spotted in the CCTV footage has been traced and recovered. The car, which is registered in Haryana, was found in Delhi's Kidwai Nagar area near the NBCC complex."

Additional DCP Manish Mishra said that "hundreds of CCTV footage across 150 locations of Noida and some other places in NCR were checked during the investigation".

"The car's owner has been identified as one Pramod of Haryana," he told reporters.

CCTV footage of the incident showed the victim, Janak Dev Shah, crossing the road when suddenly the Audi came from the front and hit him.
