According to one report, Mr Sidiqui said the officer "asked me to change my name, my religion... He said one of us has to change our name or religion".
Vikas Mishra, the officer who allegedly said this, in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow was transferred after he humiliated the couple.

“Biased decision #ISupportVikasMishra shame on you mam...is it effect of your islamic kidney??(sic)” were among the tweets by trolls. Netizens were out in full force to support Sushma Swaraj.
