“When my daughter's phone was found switched off on Friday and Saturday, we were worried. This is unusual because it calls back immediately or leaves a message. On Saturday, we called our daughter, and she woke up. We started calling all his friends. My daughter got Sahil's number and told us she knows him," said Dutt.

“He told me that Nikki went on a trip with her friends and left her phone because it didn't have a balance/charge. He kept changing locations in his statements - in one call he said he was in Dehradun and in another he mentioned Rishikesh. He said he could not join them for this trip because he was getting married,” said Dutt. “

On Sunday, he stopped answering our calls. The next morning, he called saying that he was going to spend the night and that my daughter would be back on Monday. Then I got suspicious and told my younger daughter to arrange to contact Sahil's parents,” she said. “Her father answered the call but said they were busy with the wedding. In the evening, his father told me that something was wrong. He said that they handed him (Sahil) over to the police after he confessed that he had killed him. I was confused, but the police called me after a while,” said Dutt.
