The accused had threatened the girl to comply and if she tried otherwise he would kill her father. He also said that he was a Maoist in Chattisgarh and had a nexus that could harm her family. He had been at the Paharganj hotel for almost a month paying Rs 1800 every day.

He asked the girl to book a room in her name and locked her up. He had started going out with the close friends of the victim to observe the police movements. When questioned, he cried that he could not reach her on the phone but later had given up that he was the perpetrator.
