Lahore DIG Investigations Shahzada Sultan, who was heading the special team formed to arrest Malhi, confirmed that the suspect has been arrested. They tracked these numbers and finally arrested the suspect. However, frustrated due to the prolonged and repeated failure to arrest the suspect, IGP Inam Ghani had later engaged police of the entire province for the manhunt. The arrested suspect Shafqat Ali had told the investigators that they were habitual criminals and had gathered to commit a robbery in the carol forest when they observed the car parked at the motorway. Shafqat had also revealed to the police that they were hiding nearby when the Dolphin Squad team had reached the spot.
