The police sent eight teams to nab Shrikant Tyagi. Apparently, he was changing his locations and mobile devices, hence, he could not be traced. Then the teams were increased to twelve. The police said that Tyagi went to Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Haridwar and Rishikesh. However, Shrikant Tyagi was arrested in Meerut along with his aides.
