“Saurabh Madan Mithu came to my house in the morning with his gunman. When my daughter informed me that 'uncle' had arrived, I came downstairs and asked Saurabh to come inside. Instead of coming inside, Saurabh Mithu became extremely aggressive and began shouting and using abusive language from outside.”
