Bobhate and Paul have been accused of demanding money for the release of Pereira from the UAE jail. ANI published a report stating that a preliminary inquiry by the crime branch discovered that the actor’s mother had an argument with Paul’s sister over a dog.

Since the two of them reside in the same building. Sadak 2 actor’s mother and Paul have also been into a fight. The police said that it was the reason why Pereira was made a drug mule which ultimately led to her arrest (Saudi Woman Sentenced For 45 Years).

Bobhate, on the other hand, claims to be a talent scout. He introduced the actor and Paul. He was also the person who informed Pereira about an audition in Sharjah for a web series.

The police have also found that the offenders requested Pereira to carry a trophy in which they have planted drugs. They told the actor that it was a souvenir, which she would be able to use as a prop during the audition. The accused will stay in the custody of the police until May 2, 2023.
