Then, it was his mother's turn. In the two to three minutes he spent with her, Shiney's mother kept kissing his hands.
When it was time to go back into the courtroom, Anupam was about to sit next to Shiney, but the cops asked her to sit at the back.
The proceedings began at 12.45 pm. Shivade kept arguing in court that charges should not be framed against Shiney, as they had still not received necessary documents like the DNA and other test results.
After the magistrate adjourned the next hearing till September 25, Shivade sat next to Shiney and explained the proceedings to him.
