According to Tandon, he first met DSP Verma in 2021. Over time, he says their relationship grew closer, during which she allegedly promised marriage and gradually began demanding money and expensive gifts. Tandon claims that in the span of their association, he handed over nearly ₹2 crore, alongside a ₹12 lakh diamond ring, a gold chain, ₹5 lakh worth of clothes, and a ₹1 lakh bracelet.

The businessman has further alleged that the officer took possession of his Toyota Innova Crysta and later pressured him to transfer his hotel located on Raipur’s VIP Road. The property was first made to be registered in her relative’s name and later shifted to her own name, he claims. He also states that she spent nearly ₹30 lakh on the hotel after taking control of it.
