According to the complaint, it has been alleged that a fraudulent call centre operating out of a basement in Mohali had been allegedly extorting significant sums from foreigners, accumulating over Rs 100 crore. Kaur, who led the initial investigation, had arrested the call centre owner, Vijay Rai Kapooria, along with several accomplices. However, the investigation reportedly encountered complications.
She alleged that Kapooria had deep ties to AAP minister Harjot Bains, with both hailing from Nangal. The complaint alleged that Bains might have received substantial party funds from Kapooria. The complainant also alleged that SP Jyoti Yadav, Bains’s wife, had been obstructing the investigation and exerting pressure to halt the case.
The complainant has also accused a Mohali judge of accepting a property from the scammers and subsequently filing an FIR against her. She has provided detailed information, including the judge's name and the property address, to support her claims.
The complainant alleged that SP Jyoti Yadav and DSP Gursher unlawfully sought call records related to Professor Balwinder Kaur, who ended committed suicide amid a dispute involving 1,158 assistant professors. She said these actions were intended to shield her husband from scrutiny.
