Dhudhane spoke to news agency ANI from inside of a police van after his arrest, saying, “”I was about to go on my honeymoon. My brother, my wife, and my brother’s wife—the four of us were going abroad. I didn’t even know that an arrest warrant or an LOC (Lookout Circular) had been issued in my name.”
“The police told me that I couldn’t leave the country, so I am fully cooperating with the police. A false case hasn’t been filed against me, but many things have been misrepresented. I am ready to face everything at my level. I have complete faith in justice… This case is completely false…” he also said.
