Recalling the ordeal during his appearance on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast, Elvish shared, “I filed a complaint late at night. It then made headlines. It spread like a fire. But we have very good police, they nabbed the man from Gujarat in just six hours. Policemen went there via flight and picked up that person. He was an RTO agent. He got my contact number from my car’s registration.”
