36 year old Nalini Devi, the wife of the former Mayor appeared with Ravikash Nand, Pranil Prasad, a radio announcer Imraan Hussein and Niko Biu-maiwasa in the Nasinu court, however no plea was taken.

Only Nalini Devi and Niko Biu-maiwasa's legal counsel appeared with them and the remaining three were instructed by the court to seek legal assistance.
