On the other hand, a report by the Indian Express revealed that the incident is three days old, according to Muni Ki Reti SHO Ritesh Shah. Speaking to the Indian Express, Shah said, "We also do not know the exact location of this violent scuffle as there is not much in the video. There are two different police station jurisdictions in the Rishikesh rafting path. We are trying to confirm the rafting company based on the logo on the rafts… We will also write a letter to the tourism officer and request him to cancel the licence of the company and the rafting guide."
