According to the remand report, Jani Master began grooming the victim in 2019, eventually coercing her allegedly into a physical relationship. The assaults allegedly took place over several years, with one particularly harrowing incident occurring in a Mumbai hotel when the victim was only 16 years old.

The report further details instances of physical and emotional abuse, including threats of violence, forced religious conversion, and social isolation. Master is also accused of threatening to harm the victim's career in the film industry if she disclosed the assaults. His wife, Sumalata alias Ayesha, is alleged to have been complicit in these crimes, intimidating the victim and her family.
