As the investigation into the Muskan murder case in Delhi progresses, police are preparing to recreate the crime scene with the main accused, Imran alias Aquib, after he recovers from his injuries. Investigators believe the exercise could help establish the sequence of events and connect key technical and physical evidence linked to the murder.
Aquib is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital under tight police security. Due to his physical condition, he has not yet been formally arrested. Police officials said that once doctors declare him fit, they will question him and record his statement.
Following his formal arrest, police are expected to produce him before a court and seek police custody remand. During the remand period, investigators plan to take him to the crime scene and recreate the incident to understand exactly what happened on the day of the murder.
Police believe the interrogation and scene recreation will help establish the sequence of events, verify the accused's version and connect various technical and physical pieces of evidence.

Investigators are also trying to determine the actual motive behind Muskan's murder and whether any other person was involved. Police officials believe detailed questioning during custody will be crucial to finding answers to these questions.
