"Based on CCTV footage, one minor was detained and questioned at the Ramnagar fish market. The stolen mobile phone was recovered from him. Following the details provided by the accused, another minor was taken into custody at Bandlaguda, Chandrayanagutta. Advocate Kalyan’s smartphone, the knife used in the attack, and the Honda Activa they used were seized from him, " the police added.
