According to Singh, the hearing was scheduled for noon. She alleged that the magistrate had not entered the courtroom until the evening.

She also questioned the timing of the public prosecutor’s appearance. Singh alleged that the prosecutor had been absent for four days before appearing on Sunday.
According to her, the magistrate raised the threat issue shortly after the prosecutor arrived. She alleged that the developments were intended to prevent the release of the two party leaders.
These allegations have not been independently established. Delhi Police have said the prescribed procedure was being followed, while the CJP has alleged deliberate delays.
