Prosecutor Ajay Misar said that the court had directed Raj not to make any provocative speeches that promoted enmity between two classes of society and should not influence the prosecution witness. The prosecution said that they would be filing the chargesheet in the case once they get a sanction from the Maharashtra government.

“Raj surrendered before the court today following the Bombay High Court directive and later we filed for bail on the grounds that the investigation in the case is complete and the police will not require his custody for interrogation,” Raj’s lawyer Rajendra Shirodkar said.
