Naik went home and called the police control room. He claimed they did not entertain him. He called again and they took down his address. However, when there was no response, he called and threatened to go to the media if they did not take action. "Then Malwani police sent a vehicle and took me to the police station," he said.

At the police station, he was asked to narrate what happened. Officials then asked him why he had come to Malwani as the incident happened in the jurisdiction of Goregaon police. "I was so fed up, that I apologised and wanted to leave," Naik said, adding he was forced to sign an apology.
