The lawyer subjected to the disgraceful behaviour had posted about the incident on Facebook. The alumni of National Law University spoke of the events that occurred on Monday, "Ajay Hilori IMA scam fame lives two stories below our house. His kid (probably around 8) was screeching loudly while playing to such a point that I had politely informed his mother, and the kid to not make noise from my balcony, two stories above."
Lawyer Vandana Sudha Venkatesh further wrote, "What followed was eight police officers came to our home and yelled at us citing child abuse and two recorded me without my consent. When I went to their house to ask them not to use such intimidation tactics, Mrs. Hilori (whose husband is COVID positive), spat on my face (yes, I emphasise COVID positive) and called me R****, k******, k**** and a b****."
