According to the FIR, "We reached the hotel around 5 pm and were roaming around at about 7 pm when we met two people who were staying there. We started talking, and one of them introduced himself as Mohan Lal Badoli, a senior politician, while the other identified himself as Rocky Mittal, a singer. Jai Bhagwan (Rocky Mittal) told me he would sign me as a heroine for his album. Mohan Lal Badoli claimed he could get me a government job, saying that he has very high-level connections. They began praising us and then offered us alcohol, which we refused."
