Speaking to the media, he said, "Neither have I heard of Rabbani Khar nor do I know Urdu or English to abuse her. I do not know what all this is about. I do not know if some student who resides at this centre had used my phone."

The local police claimed that the CCB officials refused to reveal the call records to back their allegation after it was demanded by the lecturers who were asking for the same on behalf of the youth. The police has instructed Amaresh not to switch off his cell phone until they contact him.
