Speaking to India Today, Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that there was a 'mastermind' behind the attack. "I want to tell the Election Commission that there is definitely some mastermind behind this attack. A few days ago, at a Dharam Sansad in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, there was talk of taking my life. This is on record, it should be seen," he said.
