Ranveer Allahbadia Assures He is Not Running Away
In his statement, Allahbadia accepted that his comment was “insensitive and disrespectful,” holding himself fully responsible for what he had said. He said that his team and he are cooperating with the police and all other authorities.
“My team and I are cooperating with the police and all other authorities. I will follow due process and be available to all agencies.”
He also stated that he had received death threats and was in fear of the circumstances. In addition, he also claimed that some people had entered his mother’s clinic, claiming to be patients.
“I’m scared; I don’t know what to do. But I’m not leaving. I have complete trust in the police and the Indian judicial system.”
Even after Allahbadia’s public announcement, Mumbai Police had previously declared that they couldn’t get through to him. Several reports indicate that officials from Mumbai Police went to his house in Versova, Mumbai. They found the house closed, and Ranveer’s phone was still off.
