The application which was sent through Dutta’s lawyer, Nitin Satpute said that the accused are “highly influential and high profile persons, and also have good political connection”. It furthur said, “There are witnesses/eyewitnesses of the incident on March 26, 2008, who are willing to come forward to record their statement…they will not come forward to record statement unless and until accused are arrested.A fair probe should be undertaken by conducting these tests to ensure that witnesses are not pressured.”
