Hemant Malhotra, who was already running a travel agency on the basis of business relationship and trust, gave his consent. On January 17, a woman named Riya, who calls herself an employee of Scholar Dan organization, asked through mobile where she had gone to book tickets for singer Sukhwinder Singh, singer Sonam Patra, actor Gulshan Grover, film director Madhur Bhandarkar and other members. Then many more tickets were also booked by a woman named Upasana, who described herself as an employee of the said organization. Hemant demanded payment from time to time and he assured that the entire payment will be made in lump sum.
