The four persons were arrested yesterday. They are Arjun, Sunil, Rajkaran and Ram Milan. These four persons were involved in a dispute with Safia and Gudia over the usage of a drain." A case was registered against them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Jamo police station. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) district president Kadeer Khan was arrested by police late on Saturday night, and has been taken to Lucknow in connection with the case.

Police told on Sunday, "The condition of the mother continues to be critical. Her daughter is out of danger, and is recovering." The police suspended three policemen on Saturday in connection with the incident.

The police, however, on Saturday said the women were instigated by Congress leader Anoop Patel to set themselves on fire as part of a "criminal conspiracy" and a case has been filed against him along with three others.

No suicide note was recovered from Safia (55) or her daughter Gudia, Police said on Saturday. Safia had a dispute with her neighbour over a drain and the two had even exchanged blows in the past.
