According to PTI, Muskan and Sahil are struggling to adjust to life in jail, with prison officials reporting that they are experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms. The court has placed them in judicial custody for 14 days.
Jail sources indicate that both individuals are displaying signs of severe distress. A source mentioned, “Muskan and Sahil are unable to sleep properly and are refusing food and water." While some believe this might be due to remorse, jail officials point to drug withdrawal as the cause.

Doctors have prescribed medication to help manage their symptoms, and a dedicated team is monitoring their condition. Police investigations have revealed that the two accused regularly consumed drugs and alcohol.
Notably, since their incarceration, neither of the accused has had any visitors, according to a source.
