The court fixed May 30 for mention following submission of the chemistry report and the post-mortem results.

Earlier, lawyer Y Sheelan, who appeared on behalf of Satvender Singh, requested for his client to be allowed access to treatment and to lodge a police report as he alleged he had been injured in police custody.

Satvender Singh was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder which carries the death penalty upon conviction.
