The same night, the report says that the boy with the help of his mother carried the body on his scooty to a forest area about five kilometres away and burnt it with petrol and a toilet cleaner to destroy the identity. On May 3, police found the partially burnt body but it remained unidentified for almost three weeks as no missing person report was file.

The family finally, lodged a missing person complaint on May 27 after pressure from ISKCON officials who were concerned about the prolonged absence of the victim. Mathura Superintendent of Police (city) Udai Shanker Singh said that whenever police called Manoj's son for questioning, he would evade it. He also said that when the police checked his phone, the history showed that the boy watched Crime Patrol episodes at least 100 times. After several rounds of questioning, the boy finally broke down and admitted to his crime.
