The Assistant Public Prosecutor, in her argument, stated that the de-addiction counseling of the minor is underway but not yet completed. She highlighted that there may be a threat to the minor as many eyewitnesses were present during the accident and some have assaulted him. Due to the minor's parents being in police custody, she argued that it might be risky to hand over the minor to a third party.
Advocate Prashant Patil, representing the minor accused, argued extensively. However, after hearing both parties, the court extended the juvenile custody of the CCL for seven days.
