User's Claims
He further claimed that he used his friends' accounts for the application but didn't anticipate this would grow into a massive issue.
"Both Vishal and that Swati girl, I use their accounts. They didn't even know what I was going to do, and now they got arrested because of me. Feel free to abuse me in comments," the user further said.
The netizen, who goes by the name @giyu44, said he would surrender if someone arranged to travel by flight.
Authenticity Of Information
It is to be noted that one of the names quoted in his tweet is wrong and raises questions on the legitimacy of the claims and the tweets. However, the Mumbai Police is trying to trace the account owner and verify the claims.
Arrests Made
The police have arrested three people connected with the case, including Shweta Singh (18), Vishal Kumar Jha (21) and Mayank Rawat (20). Kumar was arrested from Bengaluru, while Singh and Rawat were nabbed from Uttarakhand.
