The arrested constable, identified as Pawan Singh, had earlier been suspended along with a Head Constable following the incident. He has now been booked under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Parvez’s death triggered widespread outrage and quickly escalated into a political issue, prompting the government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) as well as a parallel magisterial inquiry. Sources s
