He shared his concerns on Instagram, stating, “My team and I are cooperating with the police and all other authorities. I will adhere to the legal process and remain available to law enforcement.

I'm facing numerous death threats from people who wish to harm me and my family. People have invaded my mother's clinic under the guise of being patients.”

Nevertheless, he reaffirmed his confidence in India's judicial framework, asserting that he would stand firm against those issuing threats.

He added, “I'm feeling frightened and uncertain about my next steps. However, I'm not fleeing. I have complete faith in the police and the judicial system of India.”
