In 2019, the Anantnag Court had also granted anticipatory bail and directed him join the investigation when required and not to leave territorial limits of Jammu and Kashmir without the permission of the court, however he didn’t cooperate with the police investigation. A senior Police officer, who heads the SIT, informed the Court that the accused wasn’t cooperating and joining the investigations.

All those employees have confessed before the police that the accused persons were directing them to file complaints in different courts against non-local businessmen. They said on the basis of those complaints, the accused were obtaining non-bailable warrants and later he was using these warrants and his gang of lawyers for extortion.
According to an investigation conducted by Police and the statements of witnesses, it was Ajay Kumar Agarwal who introduced Pankaj Jain to his staff in Anantnag. Ajay was running a company however on Pankaj’s direction, the office was renamed as Host and Finance Pvt Ltd and on behest of Ajay, Pankaj directed his staff to file fake complaints against victims.
On such compliant was registered against Vikram Baderwaj who owned Top Line Built Pvt Ltd and fake arrest warrant was secured a fake arrest non-bailable warrant against him
