Thank you well-wishers and a bigger thank you to the trollers you make me stronger (folded hands emoji). He also added the hashtags--enquiry, word, media trial and trollers.

He was arrested in the case in July 2021 and is now out on bail. As per news agency PTI, police found no evidence that Raj made any monetary or other kinds of gain from the alleged offence, and the prosecution has not attributed to him any intention to commit offence, the application said.
