Taneja has stated that he will seek legal remedies now that they are being held.
The Noida police detained Gaurav Taneja and his wife on Saturday in accordance with sections 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) and 188 (disobedience to order lawfully promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Gaurav has now spoken out following his arrest. In a statement, he and his wife claimed that the crowd of fans did not harm them and that they were moved to tears by their love and support.

Noida Police earlier described the situation as chaotic and stampede-like in an interview with Hindustan Times. In response to these, Gaurav and Ritu provided a statement to HT in which they stated that “permission had been obtained and granted for the same through the necessary channels.”
Officials with the Noida Police have stated that Gaurav Taneja is the subject of a case. The Smart Jodi pair was detained for breaking Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, they stated, and they further stated, “Needless to say, we will pursue an appropriate legal remedy.”
For the uninitiated, the couple had reserved a coach in Noida at Sector 51 metro station for Flying Beast’s birthday celebration. There is a clause that allows Noida Metro Rail Corporation to offer this type of service to anyone with a 200 guests maximum. However, more people than necessary arrived at the station, causing a commotion and congestion, due to the couple’s party and their devoted fan base.
