On December 27, Joy put forth a proposal to start a business in partnership with Tarkeshwar and said she’s coming to India.
The same, Tarkeshwar told, he received a phone call from Delhi airport’s custom official woman who said that Joy has been detained with Rs 3 lakh demands draft in Tarkeshwar’s name, a laptop, a mobile phone and box.
The custom official woman told him that a fine of Rs 1.85 lakh is being levied on Joy and that she is carrying only 1,200 with her which is valued Rs 1 lakh when converted.
She further told him that for Joy to be released he needs to deposit Rs 85,000 in a bank account whose number was shared with him.
