Bhagwant said that they had hired Sushmita as domestic help one month ago through an agent. Sushmita was not having any identity proof following which he was reluctant in hiring her, but the agent insisted him to hire her. He said that the agent also claimed that he would take responsibility if they had posed any problem due to her.

Inspector Amandeep Singh Brar, SHO at Focal Point police station said that CCTVs were installed in the house, but it developed some technical snag and stopped working two days ago. CCTVs installed in the locality captured Sushmita with two men flying in a car.
