After landing in India, Praveen Kumar told ANI that CID there at the airport detained me once & then let me go, after which they detained me for a second time when I was on my way toward departure. "They kept me overnight, forced me to accept I was someone else, put me in a holding cell in the morning, took me to a different city, held me & questioned me again. Would like to thank PM Modi & CM Adityanath for their quick action in the matter", Praveen Kumar added. Earlier, after the news of Praveen Kumar's detention in a foreign country aired, Gautam Buddh Nagar DM SL Yathiraj, told ANI that one Praveen Kumar from Gautam Buddha Nagar district's Habibpur was detained by Abu Dhabi police at the airport, as per the information given by the family who submitted an application to get him released.
