NOT COOPERATING: NIRBHAY PAKHARE DEMANDS VIP TREATMENT Pakhare, the 20-year-old BBA student arrested in the brutal Nagpur minor girl assault case, caused nationwide outrage after demanding VIP treatment in police custody and refusing to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. Senior officials from the Hudkeshwar police station confirmed that the accused displayed zero remorse and repeatedly kept the lock-up staff on edge with luxury demands. While in the police lock-up, Pakhare aggressively complained about the state of the facility and demanded upscale amenities. He explicitly demanded pizza for breakfast and premium meals for dinner. He grumbled about sleepless nights, demanding a thick cushion or soft bedding, they said. He complained that the lock-up walls were dingy and the toilets were unhygienic, demanding the immediate installation of insect repellents due to mosquito bites.

He initially declined to undergo standard medical examinations required by law before eventually being forced to comply, according to police.
