After withdrawal of the petition, an advocate Henri Tiphagne in a letter to the court in 2019, indicated that police officers are coercing the parents of the deceased not to depose against them. He also alleged that the petition was withdrawn by the father because of threats from local police. He also submitted several audio recordings in a sealed cover to the court.
