MICA student death: Accused not cooperating, says police
Updated: Nov 17th, 2024
The police constable arrested in the MICA student murder case, who was nabbed in Punjab and brought to Ahmedabad, is not cooperating with the police during interrogation, as he is aware of all the legal proceedings, alleged police.
Virendrasinh Padhiyar, the constable arrested in connection with the MICA student murder case, was presented before the court by the police, who requested a 14-day remand for him.
The prosecution argued before the court that Padhiyar has been serving as a police constable for the past 15 years and is well-versed in police procedures. They informed the court that he has become rigid and is not cooperating with the police at all.
Custodial interrogation is crucial to understanding key details of the case, such as the type of knife used by the accused and to seize the clothes he wore during the crime.
Authorities are also determining the route Padhiyar took when he went to Punjab, where he stayed, and what he did during that time. Additionally, they need to know if anyone accompanied him in committing the crime.
Moreover, Padhiyar claims he used only one knife during the attack. However, the victim’s friend, who was present at the scene, states that two knives were used.
The police also need to determine who Padhiyar spoke to after the crime, and whether anyone else was aware of the crime.
Given these unanswered questions, the prosecution argued that a 14-day remand was necessary. However, the court granted a 10-day remand for Padhiyar.
Notably, the police will also be reviewing CCTV footage from Ahmedabad to Punjab, tracking the accused’s movements along the route and gathering footage from key locations he visited.
