When the fire in the car was being extinguished with the help of the fire brigade, the bodies of Vijay and Anas were found in it. It was a petrol car, whose registration number was Ghaziabad. The car belonged to Vijay. Vijay was a software engineer, while Anas was managing his father’s furniture business.

It is suspected that the gate of the car could not be opened due to it being centrally locked. Vijay lived with his mother and sister in Amrapali Platinum Society, while Anas lived with his family in Sector-53.
