What Happened With Akash Kanojia?

Akash Kanojia, a driver by profession, was detained at Durg Railway Station in Chattisgarh on January 18 while travelling to meet his prospective bride. The action was taken after the Railway Police Force (RPF) received a tip-off from the Mumbai Police. 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. He said, "When I called my employer, he asked me not to report to work. My grandmother then told me the family of the prospective bride had refused to go ahead with the marriage talks following my detention." Kanojia's grandmother, Tulsa Bai Yadav, said that they have demanded compensation from the government. Saif Ali Khan Attacked at Home: Where Is the Bandra Residence of Bollywood Actor?
