After the incident was noticed, members of the Bajrang Dal and other Hindu groups reportedly gathered at the spot. As the situation became tense, some local families sheltered the elderly man inside their home.

However, he was later allegedly forced to bow before the cow and apologise by rubbing his nose on the ground. The incident was reportedly recorded on video, which is now circulating widely on social media.

Jamner police station in-charge Manoj Mehra said the incident happened four days ago and that people present at the spot questioned the elderly man, following which he apologised. He said no written complaint had been received from either side, so no legal action had been taken.

However, Jameeluddin has alleged that when he approached the police, he was pressured instead of being heard. He claimed that police officials made him write on a blank paper that he did not want any further action and had apologised voluntarily.

The elderly man has said he will approach the district Superintendent of Police with a written complaint and seek action over the alleged public humiliation.
