"I am Gaurav Ahuja, what I did in public was very wrong. I apologise to the public, police department and Shinde Saheb. Give me a chance, I'm sorry. Don't bother any of my family members. I will surrender at the Yerwada police station in the next eight hours," Ahuja said in the apology video with folded hands. 

It is not clear the "Shinde Saheb" mentioned in the video was Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

"We advised his father to ask Ahuja to surrender before police in case the latter contacts them over the phone. He switched off his cell phone after the incident. In 2021, the airport police had arrested Ahuja in a gambling case. He was later released on bail," senior inspector Ravindra Shelke told the Times of India newspaper. 

Both Ahuja and Osawal were taken into custody and were confirmed drunk during the incident after a medical check-up.
