Mangaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday questioned activist Jayant’s wife in connection with the alleged financial support extended to the complainant witness by depositing money into his bank account.
SIT sources told DH that she was accompanied by her son and daughter during the visit to SIT office.
Only Jayant’s wife was questioned while the others were not questioned. The sources further clarified that questioning of other individuals connected to financial transactions will be taken up in the coming days.
The sources clarified that YouTubers, including Sameer, have not been summoned by the SIT for further questioning.
"We are awaiting further directions from higher authorities regarding the next course of action," sources said and dismissed speculation that an interim report would be submitted, stating that no such move is either planned or expected.
The SIT intends to file a comprehensive final report only after the case is thoroughly investigated from all possible angles, sources added.
