The IG added that the perpetrators and facilitators of the attack were identified through unity of purpose all in 24 hours. He added that ‘most had already been arrested’.

The IG said that the police had used modern tools to identify the network that carried out the attack and had identified those who had carried out the recce and those who had done the shooting.

He also said that multiple intelligence agencies had worked together with the police and the Counter Terrorism Department to solve the crime.
