Police acted fast. ICR Naharlagun Superintendent of Police Nyelam Nega confirmed that officers registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. An investigation team studied the thief's methods and identified Juga as the primary suspect.
Inspector Krishnendu Dev led the operation under the watch of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Rishi Longdo.
