Today was the last day of her remand, but she was not presented in the court till half past four. When her lawyer went to the concerned police station, he found out that she was not there.
He said he believed she was discharged from the case under Section 169, which allows the police to release an accused person if there is no sufficient evidence or ground for proceeding against them.
