Claims linking two senior members of the Dabur-affiliated Burman family to the Mahadev app case have been refuted. They claim the allegations are an effort to obstruct their acquisition of a share in Religare Enterprises, stated an agency report. The family fiercely disputes having anything to do with the matter, calling the FIR a scheming attempt by special interests to thwart their aspirations to acquire a business.

According to the report, in a statement, the Burman family stated it was shocked by "arm twisting" move and stated, "This FIR (first information report) is nothing but a step provoked by vested interests in an attempt to block the acquisition of Religare Enterprises by the Burman family."
