According to DGP Swain, these individuals were operating under the direction of Hamza-Burhan, a handler based in Pakistan’s Pulwama region. Among the three, Danish Malla emerged as the mastermind behind the conspiracy to attack Police Constable Muhammad Hafiz Chak, who was targeted on his way home after duty. The assailants fired six bullets at Constable Chak, resulting in injuries, with two bullets piercing him and one hitting his spine, later successfully removed by medical intervention.
