A film production manager was duped of Rs. 98,000 on October 26. S.K. Ayushi received a threat call that day, asking her to share her Aadhaar card and banking details and to transfer Rs. 98,886, failing which a case of narcotic drug possession and money laundering would be filed against her. The caller informed her that they were calling from a courier company and a parcel that she had sent was seized by the Bombay police with drugs in it.

The Versova (Bombay) police registered the case on October 27. They said that 25-year-old S.K. Ayushi ended up paying the money after the personal threatened to send her to jail.
