A man named Hassan Jhangur has been already arrested for being allegedly involved in the incident. He was taken to court on December 30, 2023. A female security guard stood beside him while he appeared at the court, wearing a T-shirt along with track-suit trousers.
Five charges of attempted murder were imposed on Jhangur based on the injuries suffered by Hasan Khan, Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur, and Riasat Khan.
