Read Ranveer Allahbadia’s statement
My team and I are cooperating with the police and all other authorities. I will follow due process and be available to all agencies.
My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better and I am genuinely sorry.
I’m watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family. People have invaded my mother’s clinic posing as patients. I’m feeling scared and I don’t know what to do.
But I’m not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India.
