Nasir Khan was convicted in the 2012 Park Street rape case. He was released from jail around 2020. Nasir told the media, "I am ready to fully cooperate with the investigation. I was at the club that day, true, but I was not involved in any fight. Rather, I was trying to separate everyone. The truth will become clear once the CCTV footage is seen."
