During interrogation, the accused revealed that they used to mark crowded places in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Bulandshahr, Mathura and other districts. Especially, he used to take advantage of the opportunity by participating in religious programs, public meetings and fairs like common people. The accused said that to avoid suspicion, they used to change their identities and use Hindu names, so that no one in the crowd would doubt them.
