Police sources revealed that before getting arrested, the duo released a short video of them in which they stated that they have been arrested by the Delhi Police.

Mohit Mor was a tik tok star and gym teacher who had over half a million followers. He used to post fitness videos on the Chinese short video making application Tik Tok and on Instagram.
