Bhushan returned home an hour after the incident took place. A PCR van immediately reached the spot after his domestic workers called the police. However, no case has been filed by the Noida police so far.

Subsequently, members of BJP Youth Morcha protested outside Bhushan’s house and sought an apology from him for hurting the ‘religious sentiments’ of the Hindus.

Earlier on Sunday, BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Bagga had registered a police complaint against Bhushan for ‘insulting and outraging the religious sentiments of Hindus’.

Clarifying his position, Bhushan had also said that his stand had been ‘distorted’. “My position is: By the logic of Romeo Brigade, even Lord Krishna would look like eve teaser,” he tweeted. Insisting that he didn’t intend to hurt religious sentiments,” the activist had said, “We have grown up with legends of young Krishna teasing Gopis. The logic of Romeo squad would criminalise this. Didnt intend to hunt sentiments.”
