Sources confirm that Rajpal Yadav had already paid his respects to Mushtaq Khan and his grieving family. As he was making his way out of the venue, he was approached by paparazzi and fans. It was during this time that another attendee's inappropriate behaviour, trying to click selfies, prompted the woman, presumably an organiser or family member, to intervene and admonish the person. Rajpal Yadav, understanding the sanctity of the event, calmly proceeded to leave.

Conclusion
The viral video purporting to show Rajpal Yadav being disrespected and asked to leave Mushtaq Khan's prayer meet is a classic example of misleading information taken out of context.
