According to a tweet, speaking to a Punjabi TV channel, Kumar said that he did not know who Moosewala was and it was a “human error” or “slip of tongue” that happened.

Kumar said that he did not know much about Moosewala and had just heard about him vaguely when he was in the news after his death.

He also apologised to Moosewala’s parents and said that he prays that they get justice for their son. He said, “I want to apologise to his parents and pray that they get justice for him. My sympathies are with them and I support them in their fight for justice.”
