Rizwan informed the court that he, along with Hassan, was detained by the police station five days ago and interrogated. Later, they were let off. He said there was no need to detain them as they would cooperate with the investigation.

Seeking custody, Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told the court that they had links with co-accused Nasir, who was killed in a police encounter.
