In a fit of rage, Adarsh allegedly declared himself a member of a terrorist organization, vehemently refusing to travel to Lucknow. His sudden outburst prompted security personnel to swiftly detain him and hand him over to the International Airport Police Station.

Upon investigation, authorities uncovered personal struggles plaguing Adarsh, including academic underperformance and romantic relationship issues. He confessed during interrogation that these challenges had pushed him to act out in such a manner. Following his arrest, Adarsh was later released on bail by the authorities.
