We hope he will find time to do so once he is done with trolling or blocking all those who are having a hearty laugh at this hypocrisy and botched attempt to cover-up. Apart from wasting time of the Mumbai Police, this falsehood has raised questions about Agnihotri&#8217;s credibility. As they say, Internet never forgets.
