An investigating officer from SIT said that they were lucky to locate the note after moving the chair in hostel room number 802 which was found lying under the table where he used to study. He added that the family has been informed about the note and they haven’t filed a formal complaint yet.
Meanwhile, the mother of the deceased confirmed the handwriting and the officers too matched the handwriting with Solanki’s notebooks. The note has been sent to the handwriting bureau on March 20 for an analysis, as told to Hindustan Times.
