Previous Trip Success
In March 2025, the members planned a trip to Georgia and contacted one of their acquaintances, who introduced them to the accused, Rahul Jain. He successfully organised the Georgia trip for 55 members and buoyed by the experience, they again contacted Jain to organise a tour to Assam and Meghalaya.
Payment and Cancellation Issues
In July 2025, the members met Jain at a hotel in Santacruz East to finalise arrangements. The tour package was fixed at Rs75,000 per person and the money was to be paid in three installments. The trip was scheduled from November 9 to November 16, 2025 and the first installment was paid on July 22, 2025, followed by the second on September 20, 2025. The members alleged that they paid money directly to Jain’s account.
