In his affidavit presented during the bail application, Jaganath said he was a student at Varsity College and had turned 20 in custody on Friday.

According to his affidavit, Jaganath consulted with a psychologist and psychiatrist in 2019, but he stopped taking the prescribed medication shortly afterwards.“If I am released on bail, I have no fear for the safety of my wellbeing. My family is willing to take me back and [for me to] stay with them. Despite the charge against me, there is no animosity which my family has for me,” said Jaganath.

“I have been deprived of such by police. At such an institution, I will be able to be tested for Covid-19 and be treated for the same, if necessary, as well as my allergy and thyroid condition.”Govender said the district surgeon found that Jaganath did not suffer from psychosis, was aware of time and his orientation. It was recommended, however, that he be sent for observation.
