The family claimed that they were attacked because, despite not being Hindus, they wanted to answer the PM's appeal. The complaint claims that the accused showed up to the victim's door screaming "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and asked them not to take part in the activity or record it on camera. "I work for a tourism agency in sector 37, and we have been renting this place for the past six years. They arrived yesterday when we were shooting with their mobile flash devices and screaming chants. They threw bricks at us and screamed insults, telling us to leave the city after attempting to beat my mother with a chair, " according to the complainant, Aatif Warsi.
