"What should I do, Pritam": Khan's message to Singh while in parliament On a large projector screen in the courtroom, the prosecution is playing a video of Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam delivering a statement in parliament on Ms Khan's anecdote on Oct 4, 2021. It is part of the prosecution's case that during this statement, Ms Khan sent Singh a message asking him: "What should I do, Pritam.
The video continues – Ms Khan is now watching herself repeatedly decline to provide more information on the anecdote under questioning from Mr Shanmugam three years ago. DPP Ramasamy asks Ms Khan why she was checking her phone while speaking at the podium. She said she was hoping that Singh would reply to her message, but he did not. "Why were you prepared to lie again on Oct 4, 2021?" asked the prosecutor.
