So I told the press that neither my name is linked to Dawood Ibrahim nor have I ever seen him nor have I met him till date. So there is no question of this question. And the one with whom my name is…was…for some moment, whose name is Vicky Goswami.”

Neither is it necessary for you to ask him any question. That’s all I said. But the press has blown this thing out. I want you to listen to that interview of mine peacefully and the rest of the saints, I want them to use their discretion. Watch the video again to see what I have said. Neither am I. I have never met Dawood, nor do I have anything to do with him. Jai Bhavani.”
