According to DailySUN, Manku and his lawyer pleaded for bail in an affidavit, with claims that he is the sole breadwinner and needs to support his children, including a mentally unfit son:
"My children sometimes depend on neighbours for handouts. My son’s health is deteriorating."
Meanwhile, the investigating officer countered the argument by revealing that the accused neither loved nor supported his children, to begin with:
"He failed his kids and mustn’t claim that he wants to be released so that he can take care of them."
