After the arrests, the police recovered a mobile phone used in the extortion case, a UAE Debit card used for recharge, and UAE-based account transaction statements from their possession.

During interrogation, they revealed that the complainant had a dispute over the money transaction with one of the accused. This prompted Manoj and his friend Anil to hatch a conspiracy according to which Anil would call the complainant using the same international number.

Anil deals in the sale of products through an online shopping platform for which he uses an international number.

Further investigation into the case is underway.
