Overview

• Officers questioned the accused on campus about a room students called a “torture room” and mapped CCTV camera access before returning him to the station for further interrogation.
• Patiala House Court granted five days of police custody on Sunday after his pre-dawn arrest from an Agra hotel.
• Devices including three phones, an iPad, and the institute’s DVR/NVR have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory as he claimed to have forgotten passwords and complained of nervousness during questioning.
• Police recorded statements from three wardens accused of helping him delete incriminating messages and are tracing aides who arranged shelters, travel and hotel bookings.
• Investigators say he evaded capture for nearly 40 days by rotating through at least 13 low-cost hotels and ashrams; fake UN/BRICS visiting cards, suspected fraudulent passports and frozen funds form part of the wider probe rooted in complaints by 17 women and chats recovered from about 50 students.
