The suspects have been identified as Brij Bhushan, Amit, Manjit Singh, Sandeep and Golu.

In her complaint to the police, the staff nurse, a Muslim, had stated that the five persons had harassed and thrashed her when she was returning home from her duty. She said even she had showed them her identity card and permission but the suspects did not listen and started thrashing her.
