Furthermore, it has come to light that the accused had planned to leave Mumbai shortly after the firing incident. Their black bike, which was used in the attack, was found parked on the stairs near Mount Mary Church, close to the Bandra police station.

The bike, purchased from Pen Tehsil in Raigad with registration from Panvel RTO, was seized by the Mumbai police as part of their investigation. Mumbai police believed that the firing was done by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Bishnoi has threatened Khan on multiple occasions for allegedly killing a black buck in Rajasthan in 1998. The Bishnoi community of Rajasthan considers the black buck sacred.
