Dalvi reached the police station at 12, and Inspector Deepshikha Ware recorded his detailed statement, after which he left around 4:30 pm.
According to the police, Dalvi admitted that he had issues with his wife. The police refused to reveal details to the media. He denied having any knowledge about his minor daughter's plan to kill her mother and stepsister, said an officer from Kandivli police station.

When a police officer asked him about accused driver, Shivdayal Sen, he said Sen was close to his family. "He worked with him for years and was a trusted employee. Dalvi is still in shock and still cannot believe that Sen would do such a thing," the police officer said.

When this reporter asked Dalvi about his daughter, Bhumi, he immediately folded his hands before him and started weeping. He left saying he did not want to talk about anything anymore.
