Police captured Kekda from Sirsa in June 2022 and produced him before the Mansa District Court. According to reports, the court remanded him in custody for 11 days. During interrogation, Sandeep revealed that he went to Musewala’s house with his friend Niku from the neighboring Sirsa Thahatmar village and took a selfie with him there. They stayed there for about 40 minutes. They then continued on their motorcycle and after walking a short distance, his friend got in the car and Kekeda left on his motorcycle. Soon, he passed the message to the gunman. He informed them about Sidhu’s movements and the absence of security personnel. He further told the police that he had been conducting reconnaissance on Musewala on the orders of the gunman for a long time.

After the interrogation, a police officer said in an interview with the media,
On the evening of May 29, Kekela brought some friends to Musewala’s house. He waited outside his home for nearly an hour and took a selfie with Musewala when he emerged from the home. He was also seen walking around the tal (Musewala’s vehicle), possibly to see who was accompanying the singer. As Musewala left, Kekeda is said to have told the gunman minutes before he was murdered that he was driving the car and was not accompanied by security. “
Later, in a media interview, Sandeep’s father revealed that Sandeep’s aunt lived in Musa village in Mansa and Kekeda used to visit her house frequently. Baldev further said that Sandeep stayed away from home most of the time and last left home about two weeks ago.

Police said the gangsters consciously picked Kekeda for the job because he was familiar with his surroundings and had safe accommodation nearby. ADGP Pramod Ban, head of the Punjab Anti-Gangster Task Force, said in a media conversation,
Kekda, under the instructions of Goldy Brar and Sachin Thapan, pretended to be a fan of the singer to spy on the singer’s every move. Kekeda also clicked a selfie with the singer as she left her home minutes before she was murdered. “
He added,
Kekeda shared all the information, such as the singer not being accompanied by security, the number of passengers, vehicle details, and that he was traveling in a non-bulletproof vehicle while the gunmen and handlers were operating from abroad. “
