“The police said that I had received a WhatsApp call from Prashanth. But I did not receive his call. It was proved after the police examined my cell phone,” he said, and added that an activist sent a message from his constituency. “But I did not even open that message. I am a responsible public representative from a national party that is always wishing for the good of the students,” he said.

Rajender’s two personal assistants had already appeared before the police and got their statements recorded.
