Talking to DNA, Ravindra Singhal, Police Commissioner of Nasik, said, "If there are objectionable and serious issues, we will submit the report to our higher authority for action. However, preliminary inquiry revealed that the officers said they were not aware of Dawood's connection. Besides, Dawood himself was not there in wedding."

We cannot bar anyone from attending weddings and social functions," senior police official said requested anonymity.
