When the police spoke to Jai, he explained that there are usually two sets of keys for the vans. But for that one, the other set went missing a while ago. And as the van remained locked when Jai wasn’t at it – he seems to be the only one who could have stashed something inside. Naturally, this doesn’t look good.
