The firm discovered that malware had been introduced in Wilson's PC on June 13, 2016, after somebody utilizing the email record of Varavara Rao — who is one of the denounced for this situation — sent a phishing mail to Wilson. A NetWire far off access trojan (RAT) was introduced on Wilson's Hewlett Packard Pavilion journal once he tapped on what he thought was a simple Dropbox connect.

As we would like to think, this pokes a hole in the arraignment's case," said Mihir Desai, one of the legal advisors in the Bhima Koregaon case. 

"The report of Arsenal Consulting is adequate reason for suppressing the FIR and charge sheet against Wilson and his co-denounced," a senior adviser who addressed Wilson said.

It likewise found that a similar aggressor had additionally dispatched a comparative malware assault against other co-litigants of this case over a time of four years. 

Wilson's request contended that considering the Arsenal report, any arraignment against him or the other co-denounced — there are 15 other conspicuous activists, scholastics, and legal advisors, among others — would be a "crime of equity".
