Police obtained video footage from cameras near the ward and the ground-floor cameras, which showed four people entering the hospital's emergency gate.
"Another patient in the same ward, who was shot on June 12, indicated that he had a rivalry with the Hasim Baba gang. He believed the attackers intended to kill him but mistakenly killed the patient in the bed opposite," police said.
Officials said that based on the video footage, the suspects were identified. The police also obtained their social media IDs and mobile numbers, and analyzed call detail records (CDRs).

Another suspect, Farhaan, was apprehended in Chauhan Banger.
The suspects disclosed that Faheem would gather the group at his flat in Babar Pur, Delhi.
