However, he was released the next day after another suspect, Shariful Islam Shehzad, was arrested in Mumbai's Thane. "One mistake of the Mumbai police ruined my life. They failed to notice I had a moustache and the person in the CCTV footage from the actor's building did not, " Kanojia told PTI.

By the time Kanojia was released, his photos were circulated widely across social media platforms, which caused significant damage to his reputation.
