Kapoor came to realize that money had been withdrawn from his bank account and he enquired the bank about this. Following this, he lodged a written complaint with the police.

The producer told the police that neither anyone asked for his credit card details nor did he get any call in regards to this. Police officials suspected that somebody had acquired the information while Kapoor was using the card.
