Assistant public prosecutor Ujwala Pawar said, "As Yadav was the complainant his testimony was required for the accident before the court. Due to the disability that he rendered from the accident he was unable to come to Pune and give his testimony. Which we came to know after sending the summon regularly to him. Later when I had contacted him I came to know about his situation and on his behalf, I moved an application before the court to take his testimony via a WhatsApp call. As the testimony can be considered under the preview of law as well as under the Code of Criminal Procedure."

Who then directed the Chandagh police station and sent one constable to his house along with a smartphone. Thus the testimony along with the examination of the witness was done and now a month of adjournment is given."
Yadav said, "Due to this accident, I have lost my job as well as and have been rendered disable as well. This case is very important for me. I hope that the judgment comes in my favour as the accident has ruined my entire life."
