The prosecution sought a seven-day extension in their police custody, saying the accused must be confronted with Suneha Pandit, a co-accused in the case, who remains in police custody till November 16.

Police said Pandit allegedly facilitated the transfer of funds to other accused in the case through a bank account linked to an overseas cryptocurrency wallet. Investigators are looking into her alleged role in financing the attack.

Of the 13 accused who were arrested in the case, seven of them have already ended up in judicial custody.

During the hearing, the court also allowed the five accused to talk to their parents on the phone and ordered that the conversations should not be recorded.

Police informed the court that a team has been sent to Haryana to verify Phool Singh’s claim that he is a minor. The age verification report will be submitted to the court on November 18, police said.

Singh’s lawyers had earlier submitted his birth certificate and Aadhaar card with his date of birth on November 30, 2008. On November 6, a special court ordered the police to verify his age within 15 days. His lawyers sought to have him transferred to a juvenile facility, but the court refused to grant immediate relief until his age was verified.
