According to a recent report from ANI, a Special MCOCA court has directed that two suspects, Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, remain in judicial custody until May 27. Their police custody ended on May 8, and despite the police requesting an extension for further interrogation, the court decided to place them in judicial custody instead.
The report also stated that advocate Amit Mishra, representing the accused, expressed dissatisfaction with the court's decision and implied that the proceedings may have been predetermined.
He told ANI, "It is unfortunate that when they were produced on April 29, there were four accused, one of whom was granted judicial custody. Today, only accused numbers one and two were produced, while others were absent. The prosecution sought their police custody without concrete evidence. The court, however, sent accused numbers one and two to judicial custody which will be till May 27 considering from May 13."
Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan, addressed the incident of gunshots at their house hours later, breaking his silence. Speaking to CNN News 18, he dismissed concerns, stating, "There is nothing to tell. They just want publicity; there is no need to worry."
