We are not aware of any of his transactions nor have we received even a single rupee from him. All the franchises deal directly with Kashif. The company spun off in 2014 and is wholly controlled by Kashif Khan. I have worked very hard in the last 24 years and I am sad to see that my name and reputation is being tarnished and being dragged so easily to grab people’s attention. My rights as a law abiding citizen in India must be protected.”
