"It is deeply unfortunate that in today's world, a person's hard-earned reputation appears to be vulnerable to undue tarnishment by unfounded rumours.

The team has asked everyone to verify facts before making claims and also urged people to not link his name with this. The statement also assured everyone that Talpade is an honest individual who would never lose out his integrity.

Mr Talpade is a law-abiding citizen who remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, honesty and professionalism in all of his endeavours."
