Media veteran Raj Nayak, who knows Khanchandani for more than two decades as a close friend and professional colleague, said, âI am really saddened by the arrest of my dear friend Vikas Khanchandani. Weâve been close for over two decades and I can vouch for his integrity. His only fault is being at the wrong place at the wrong time and getting caught in the crossfire. Praying that he is safe and released soon.â
