Satyanarayan Prajapat, superintendent of police City, Muzaffarnagar, said a day earlier that after investigation into the objectionable comments made in the video, it was found that the teacher had "declared" that "those mothers of Muslim children who do not look after their children's education are ruining their education" and that the person who made the video had confirmed that the teacher said so. District magistrate Aravind Mallappa Bangari confirmed that the video maker was the student's cousin.
