The vehicle is owned by Muzakir Mohi-ud-Din Shah of Takia Hugam in the Srigufwara area, who is the nephew of accused Firdous Ahmad Bhat, linked to the FIR registered at Mattan Police Station.

The vehicle has been connected to Case No. 57/2024, which involves serious charges filed under multiple laws including the UAPA, the Arms Act, the Explosive Substances Act, and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
