Upon receiving information about the incident, the police team arrived at the scene and attempted to resolve the matter peacefully. According to an order of Ajmer SP Chuna Ram Jat, ASI Ruparam, Constable Gautam and Constable Mukesh have been sent to police lines. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against them.
