After the incident, the Metropolitan Police issued an appeal to the public to help trace Keven Antonio Lourence De Morais, a 23-year-old Brazilian national. Keven was arrested on Tuesday evening from Harrow in the Greater London area but a police spokesperson told HT that he has not been charged yet, and remains in custody at a North London police station.

Tejaswini's cousin in Hyderabad, identified as Vijay, said the suspect had moved into the shared accommodation - where Tejaswini lived with her friends - less than a week ago. Tejaswini had gone to London three years ago to get her Master's degree.
