Local residents reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline after being disturbed by loud music from the hotel. Police arrived at the lodge and warned the group for creating a nuisance, stating that their behaviour was disturbing people living nearby.

There are also allegations that police personnel demanded money from the men present at the lodge. However, officials have said this claim has not yet been verified.

Shortly after the police visit, the woman allegedly panicked and tried to leave the fourth-floor room by climbing down a drainpipe attached to the balcony. During the attempt, she lost her balance and fell.
