In an interview with ABP News, Anup Jalota said it is not the time to get into who was killed and the focus should be on solving the conflict. "I just want to say that it is not the time to get into who killed and who didn’t.... One should realise that Salman’s close friend Baba Siddique was allegedly killed because of the same. Now, the focus should be on solving the conflict," he said.

He further urged Salman Khan to go to the temple and apologise to ensure his, his family and close friends' safety. "I am sure they will accept his apology. Salman should go and then lead a safe life... It is not the time to complicate the matter. Whether he killed or not, Salman should apologise. No one will get anything by getting stuck into the feud,” Jalota added.
