He mentioned the time when he and Abdul Bhai aka Sharad Sankla were on their way to attend an event in Gujarat. Nimal mentioned that there was already a huge crowd gathered to see and meet them and after the event ended, there were 15-20 bikers who were actually following their car. Nirmal then told the car driver the stop their car as the bikers may have gotten themselves hurt after chasing them for so long.
