Police commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said efforts are on to deport and arrest Kumar. He later deleted the video and uploaded an apology, saying he was upset over inaction against Bangladeshis entering Bengaluru. Kikkeri police have also registered a separate case. In the now-deleted video, Kumar challenged police to trace the men and boasted they had no ID cards or addresses. Commissioner Singh warned strict action against anyone disturbing public order.
