A video of the speech had surfaced on social media platforms.

After his release, Das said he was ready to go to jail a thousand times and face many attacks but will continue to safeguard his religion and women. “I have no guilt for what I said...,” he stated.

In the two-minute video of the speech made outside a mosque, Das referred to a community as ‘jihadi’ and threatened them that if any Hindu girl was harassed by any man of that community, he would himself rape their women.

Later, another video of Das appeared apologising for his statement after police lodged an FIR against him.
