Reportedly, the Pydhonie Police have filed a case against the six accused.
As per a report in Times of India, sources said that the accused had invited Munawar to their restaurant in the Minara Masjid area for Iftar, but he went to another restaurant nearby. They reportedly got angry and pelted eggs at him.

The 'Bigg Boss 17' winner was later released. A senior official had told PTI, “During the raid, the police found stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui and others smoking hookahs at the joint.
