Seated in the garden area, Jigna shared the details of her arrest and her acquittal from all charges in 2018. She recounted her career journey, which commenced as a crime reporter in 2004, steadily progressing from a trainee reporter. By 2011, she had risen to the position of deputy bureau chief.

Speaking about the case, Jigna said, "And after 7-8 months I was arrested for passing some tipoff about that person to one of the underworld gangsters... I had interviewed him (the gangster) a week before the murder." Jigna said that the struggle started from there to prove herself innocent. "I got jailed for 9 months then I got bail after 9 months.... The struggle and the trial began. In 2018, I was acquitted. No charges. This had to happen. I take it positively."
