Upon enquiring about the matter, Kumar, who runs a gym in the area, was asked not to intervene. In a video of the incident, Kumar confronts the mob and asks why others can name their shops Baba but not Ahmed. “The shop is 30 years old, will you change the name?” he asks the crowd. They asked me my name, and in anger, I said I was Mohammad Deepak. They told me to change the name of my shop from ‘Baba’ to something else.
