Modi thanked the police department, saying "at least they have been arrested." He went on to allege that the Jaunpur family court judge hearing Atul's case was corrupt.
"She (the judge) asked him (Atul) for money. He was not someone who would pay bribes. He was ready to pay a penalty but never bribe," Modi said.
