The debates between the prosecution who had applied for custody and the defense lawyer, who had asked to be released on bail, lasted more than an hour.
Khan's lawyer argued before the magistrate that the offense was punishable and that his case was under indictment, so that there was no need for police custody. Khan, he said, is willing to cooperate with the police in his investigation and even submitted a statement in which it is clearly mentioned the role of the complainant in the attack on herself and her involvement in the "black magic".

The planning took place at her home two days before the badault, when I introduced her to Altamash as a person who had contacts within the department. She wanted to organize a #MeToo campaign in Delhi. A few minutes after Altamash 's return from his apartment, I found his behavior strange.

My original lawyer was doing a fabulous job. As a second lawyer, Khan was more interested in a lawsuit in front of the media and coping with cameras while I was not. I have never manifested myself so far. His program for the media trial was what he knew best. I only know that I have suffered in the market for trusting people blindly. "
The woman then said, "I have never met Khan's cousins and I do not indulge in black magic. I do prayers, songs, etc., which is good for people and I have never hurt anyone until now. He makes false allegations to get out of the situation. I would never have been attacked by anyone in spite of a strong argument, even on false advice. "
She stated that her original lawyer was Sheetal Pandya, who had however handled her case up to the level of the court hearings. "I want to make it clear that I have always had a strong case and that Supreme Court judgments have been favorable to my case." She added that she was seeking to appoint an experienced and trustworthy lawyer.

Altamash told us that Khan hired them to attack the woman. The four youths were subsequently released on bail.
