After the attack, Munawwar Rana had said that his own family members had enmity with him over the land dispute and those people would have planned this attack. However, the CCTV footage, revealed the conspiracy of Tabrez.
When a Special Operations Group of the Uttar Pradesh police probing the case, scanned the CCTV footage of the area, several discrepancies were found in Rana's claims. Tabrez was found alone in a vehicle at the time of the incident though he had claimed that there was another person with him. Rae Bareli SP Shlok Kumar had said that Tabrez Rana, along with his two accomplices Haleem and Sultan Ali, faked the attack on himself. The bike and pistol used in the incident have been recovered from them.
