Additional Deputy Commissioner from the New Delhi District Eish Singhal said the victim checked into a five-star hotel and, in what seems to be a honey-trap, a woman already known to him along with another woman went to the hotel. They escorted the victim out in a white sedan and offered to introduce him to one of their friends residing in East Delhi, about 15 to 20 km away.
With the help of CCTV footage and phone surveillance, police learnt about the victim's whereabouts. On early Saturday, police raided the house and rescued the businessman and apprehended four women along with their two men accomplices.
