A video of the event quickly went popular on various social media platforms. The purported footage had audio of the lady and other people who can be heard saying, “Why have you come now?” Later, when addressing the media, MLA Singh said that he had forgiven the lady and would not be pursuing any legal action against her.
On the other side, the persistent rains that have been falling in Haryana and Punjab have led to flooding, which has claimed the lives of at least 15 people so far, with the possibility that this number could rise.
