After her questioning, police said she did not cooperate with them.

However, Haveliwala’s advocate Renuka Laxmeshwar denied this, saying Haveliwala had visited the station twice after her release and had been questioned on one occasion.

“Haveliwala told the police the truth. If that is what the police mean by “not cooperating” then that must be their definition,” Laxmeshwar said.

These are the questions she was asked by LT Marg police on Sunday, and her replies:

How much of the morphine and cannabis did you consume?

No answer.

Where did you consume the drugs?

Who was with you while you consumed the drugs?
