Public prosecutor Veena Shelar sought a seven-day further extension of his police custody remand, stating that the SIT was yet to get all the WhatsApp chats/conversations exchanged between Solanki and Khatri. Gupta further claimed that neither Solanki’s parents nor any student from IIT-B had said that Khatri had threatened Solanki so much that he ended his life and that he was already given a clean chit by the institute management and the Powai Police, which investigated the case first.
