No show, so far
Despite the Lokayukta police serving notices to half a dozen individuals linked to the case, none of them have appeared to record their statements. Some of these people have been seen meeting Sharma at the Kohefiza police station, but neither police arrested them nor have they shown up to provide their statements.
