Police can summon Saanvi for questioning again.
While talking to news agency ANI, Vikas Malu said, ‘Satish Kaushik had come to the party on the day of Holi and everything was normal. I went to my room in the evening. Around 12:20 in the night, I got information that Satish Kaushik’s health is deteriorating. After this I also reached the hospital. Satish Kaushik was my friend. His demise is a personal loss for me. Vikas told that after the death of Satish Kaushik, Delhi Police had recorded his statement. He will cooperate with the police whenever needed in future.
When asked about the allegations of links with the underworld, Vikas Malu said, ‘It is all baseless. Everything will come out in the police investigation. On the other hand, Vikas’s lawyer Rajesh Thakur said that Vikas would take legal action regarding the allegations leveled against his wife. A defamation case will be filed against Saanvi.
