Several rumors began to circulate on social media of which one was that Bukhari was drunken and was thrashed by some people outside a Pall Mall nightclub.

“I fainted and suffered a collapse at an underground station in London,

“My wife and daughter were with me when I fell flat on my face and suffered injuries,” 

Moreover he declared social media’s propaganda completely false.
