Spotboye quoted the father as, "To tell you the truth, I couldn’t get flowers or garland for a long time outside my building which otherwise, I get easily. After a long time I managed to get few flowers and I myself made a mala of it. You see, my main grouse is that the trial is still to get underway." Further talking about his daughter's boyfriend, he said that he met him at the court and felt his nervousness and anxiety. Shankar was quoted by the portal, "We did see him in Dindoshi Court and unka chehra badal gaya humko dekhkar, paseena-paseena ho gaya."
