I want to apologise to the media on behalf of me and my father. Please think of me as your own and forgive me; I am sorry. I did not like that you were there to support me when this happened to you.
I do not like them dragging my wife’s name into this; we never asked them for money or property. I only returned home because my wife was pregnant, my brother (Vishnu) had moved to Dubai, and my parents were living alone. Was it my fault to marry the woman I loved ?” Manoj also said that he does not want the to-and-fro with his family.
“I have asked my family multiple times to sit down and sort out issues with me, but they haven’t. They’re lying that my mother is hospitalised. I called 100 in the heat of the moment, and no one took me to the hospital after the altercation.
108 had to come to take me to the hospital; they had character assassinated me . I urge them again to give back the CCTV tapes they’ve taken. I am not a liar; my father is not the one you see today.
Someone else is pulling the strings; he’s a god,” he said..
