After the encounter, Owaisi tweeted on the social networking site X, saying, It’s not hard to get to the bottom of what happened to Balaich’s violent defendants and their encounters with police. Everyone knows about Yogi’s “thok denge” policy. If the police have so much evidence, they will definitely try to punish the defendant legally.
