As per sources, the decision to hold the trial inside the prison was reached after a meeting of the prosecution team and the Punjab government. This decision was taken due to the security concerns.

It is pertinent to mention here that recent arrests came after the law enforcement officials traced the culprits via CCTV footage and cellular data.
