According to an India Today report, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader in question has claimed that he had leased his farmhouse to some people – identified as Sachin, Vishnu, and Vishal Goyal -- who were carrying out the sex-trafficking, and he had nothing to do with it.

Bablu Kumar, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Agra has informed that the farmhouse was raided as part of a city-wide operation to bust sex-trafficking rackets. Commenting on what used to happen inside the raided premise, SSP Kumar said: “Women were first brought to the farmhouse and then sent to various hotels to meet clients.”
