“We have initiated a probe into the complaint. No arrests have been made so far. Imran has stated in his complaint that he was forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’… There was no CCTV camera around the spot where the incident took place. So we are yet to come across any video of the incident,” police inspector Sachin Sanap of Begampura police station said.

“Ganesh and his wife did not know Imran. But as the incident occurred near their house, they came out on hearing noises and helped Imran,” Sanap told The Indian Express.
