According to the police, Manish Sahib of Nawanshahr, local handler of the sleeper cells, who carried out two petrol bomb attacks, stated that he was in contact with Sabi on Facebook. In September this year, Sabi contacted him over phone and gave a task to hurl petrol bombs on the houses of Shiv Sena (Bharat Vanshi) leader Yogesh Bakshi and Shiv Sena (Hind) Sikh Sangat leader Harkirat Singh Khurana.

Sahib added that he roped in Ravinderpal Singh, alias Ravi, Anil Kumar, alias Sunny, Jaswinder Singh, alias Pinder, and Lovepreet Singh, alias Monu alias Baba. All of them are drug addicts and were involved in petty crimes. They agreed to execute the plan for money.

During interrogation Sahib added that after hurling the petrol bombs, they fled to Nawanshahr.
