Jha, alleged to be a mastermind, confessed to sharing an incriminating video on WhatsApp and encouraging its wider dissemination. The recipient, Sourav Chakraborty in Kolkata, was prompted to circulate the footage. The Special Cell recovered phone parts in Rajasthan, where Jha broke and burned them. Recovered evidence includes WhatsApp chats and videos sent by Jha. He took away mobile phones from other accused before the December 13 incident. After court proceedings, Jha and sixth accused Mahesh Kumawat are in seven-day police custody. Section 201 of the IPC (destruction of evidence) is added to the FIR. The case involves various charges, including criminal conspiracy and assault on public servants.
