They were trying to make it difficult for Yash to register a case by asking irrelevant questions. An exasperated Yash remarked, “Don’t worry, truth always has a way of revealing itself.” Saying this he stormed out of the police station.

Born in the city of Agra he had grown up near the Taj Mahal.

Once he started earning, he requested his mother to lea...
