What is Gait Analysis?
Gait analysis is the study of human movement while walking or running. It is mostly used by police to identify suspects captured in videos or CCTV footage. It helps analyse a person's walking pattern and is used to identify suspects by examining features such as stride length, posture and limb movement.

According to the police, the analysis became necessary because Chaudhary was allegedly spotted wearing a hoodie to conceal his identity on the day of the incident at Lohagad Fort.
Reportedly, the police plan to recreate the CCTV footage by making Chaudhary wear a similar hoodie and walk through the same location at the fort in a similar manner.
The police will then compare Chaudhary's movements in the CCTV footage with the recreated video to determine whether the walking patterns match.
