A purported video of his speech at the mahapanchayat was shared by several people on social media. In the video, he can be heard saying that when they are attacked, Muslims will shout ‘Ram Ram’. In the mahapanchayat, which was called to discuss religious conversion, ‘love jihad’, and a law to control population, he also called on people to abduct Muslim women if Hindu women are “taken away”. The teenager had opened fire at anti-CAA protesters near Jamia Millia Islamia on January 30, 2020. An FIR was registered against him under IPC Section 307 (attempt to murder) and he was apprehended from the spot.
