Ms Suchitra's descriptive narration of the incident is baseless and is not truly indicative of the real happenings."

The notice further added that the singer has exaggerated the events and her allegations are completely imaginary without any proof. "In the video, she falsely exaggerated and sensationalized the chain of events and her allegations seem to be a figment of imagination and is not backed up by any proof.
