The doctor and the accused came to contact after the former was promised an insurance policy in 2013. The accused urged the doctor to invest Rs 2.05 crore for better returns. 

One of the accused used to work at a private insurance company in Noida, during which he collected the data of the customers and contacted them later. The doctor was also contacted in a similar manner and was asked to revive his lapsed insurance policy. The doctor eventually agreed to their demands and invested some money. But he failed to get any returns.
