The court directed the police to take the voice sample of Imam for examining that any kind of adulteration had done with the video or not.
Though, sources revealed that the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) scholar himself accepted that the video which got viral on social media was his own.
Still, for legal action against Imam, the crime branch police asked for a voice sample test of the accused.

Imam got arrested from Bihar's Jehanabad on January 28 for allegedly making inflammatory speeches during the ongoing protest in Shaheen Bagh against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
He was slapped with a sedition case after a video of his purported speech went viral on social media where he was heard speaking about "cutting off" Assam and the northeast from the rest of India.
