This marked the sixth consecutive day of questioning in the case. On Monday, Jayanth had avoided the main entrance, but on Tuesday he entered through the front gate. However, he declined to make any statement to the media. Sindhu Devi, who is said to be associated with the case, also visited the SIT office but returned without participating in the proceedings.
Kerala YouTuber Manaf and fellow YouTuber Abhishek also presented themselves before the SIT. Reacting to media reports that he had brought supporters from Kerala for his protection, Manaf expressed anger, saying, “I have not brought anyone. I have no fear. I am fighting for the truth and will cooperate with every SIT inquiry.”
