“If [have made any comment then I apologise to Mamata Banerjee. The police carried out an investigation and arrested the suspects,” he told local media in the afternoon when his daughter’s classmate, the sixth suspect, was remanded in police custody for seven days by the Durgapur court.

“The only thing that matters to me is my daughter's life,” the victim’s father added on Wednesday.
