Upon receiving information, the police arrived at the scene and took Shivam, who was in critical condition, to the hospital. Doctors stated that he had severe internal head injuries. His condition was so critical that he was unable to give a statement. On January 4, he was moved to another hospital and underwent surgery. His family hoped he would recover, but Shivam died on January 19.

The police have started reviewing CCTV footage from the area and have sent Shivam's blood-stained clothes for forensic examination. Currently, two suspects have been arrested, while the search for the third is ongoing. The police are trying to determine the real cause of the fight.

Shivam's father, Anil Kant Gupta, who runs a shop in Paharganj, has demanded strict punishment for the accused. He said, ‘My son was my everything. Now we just want justice, so that no other father has to endure this pain.’
