11:40 am, 07 Jan 2021

Maneshinde: When the prescription was leaked in social media, I realised it was on advice of his sisters. So I realised that it could be a cause of his suicide.

11:38 am, 07 Jan 2021

Singh: The FIR is a counter case. The way she has listed the events points out chain of events pointing out some other accused and then there are other events claimed which point out other accused. But then this is part of the same investigation which is being conducted by CBI.

11:38 am, 07 Jan 2021

Singh: These medicines that she is referring to could have been referred to by then doctors through telemedicines as per the ICMR telemedicine guidelines.

11:38 am, 07 Jan 2021

Singh: The real reason for the FIR was some medicines that was being prescribed by his sisters but she (Chakraborty) has never taken that stand. She has not said she came to know about it in September. She admits she knew about it since June.
