Sudhir Nikam, Shubham's maternal uncle, said, "Patil sir came at 2 pm and had a conversation with the family for almost 30 minutes. He called famous lawyer Ujjwal Nikam and asked him to take up Shubham's case."

He also instructed the Vishrantwadi police to investigate the case impartially and without any pressure.
