They came into contact with each other in 2020, when Sukhdev used to work as small time car dealer in New Seelampur Area.  He contested Delhi Assembly elections in the year 2020, but lost.  He had done huge investment with borrowed money, and later came under lot of debt. He sought help from Sandeep and both decided to cheat job aspirants in Railways.

Sandeep used to prepare fake railway application forms and I-Cards which they used to share on mobile phones.  Sandeep had kept two boys namely Deepak & Rahul in D.R.M office & Railway Hospital, near New Delhi Railway Station.

The families of the both these boys had been living in servant quarters of Railways, since birth.  One year ago they have shifted from there.  Mother of Rahul used to work in staff quarters of the railways.

The job aspirants were referred to these boys, who used to take them to DRM office where the forms were filled up and then would give them a round inside office, in order to convince them.  For medical examination, they used to take the victims in the secluded rooms/bathrooms of the Railway Hospital where they were physically examined and at times blood samples were also taken to further enhance the credibility of the whole process of recruitment.
