As she spoke to him, she eventually revealed her poverty, and Prabhuling told her that he had a good friend in Kalaburagi and will bring him to Solapur and introduce him to her. The woman consented. Prabhuling brought his friend Raju Lengti to Solapur and introduced him to her. Raju Lengti asked the woman to come to Kalaburagi and he would show the way of earning, and believing his words, she tagged along with them to Kalaburagi.
Prabhuling and Raju Lengti abducted her and took her to a lodge. Later, they gave her a phone number, and asked her to contact the caller and invite him to the lodge. Later when the caller arrived, she was forced to physically please him, and it was video recorded by Prabhuling.
