Woman Says Rajpal Yadav Wasn't Asked to Leave Prayer Meet
A video online led people to say that actor Rajpal Yadav was told to leave a prayer gathering for Mushtaq Khan.
Content creator Nazma Shaikh says that is not what happened.
She said she was angry at people who kept taking pictures and selfies at the gathering.
She said the event was a time to pray, not a place for photos.
Shaikh also said Yadav was close to Khan and attended the prayer meet.
The earlier report said Khan died on September 24 in a Mumbai hospital.
His last rites were held in Mumbai the next day.
