Ikramuddin claims no action was taken against the family of his wife as the younger brother of his wife is a police constable.

He said, “No action is taken by the police as my wife’s brother is a cop.”

Prabhat Kumar, a police constable at the Sadar Police Station, said, “We have received a video. We will investigate each angle in the story. An order to file an FIR has been given.”
