In September 2019, a case was registered by the agency under several Sections of IPC and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act. As per an official release, searches were conducted at Justin's ancestral and rented houses, and "incriminating documents have been recovered".

Moreover, two young women were also rescued from Justin's house. In March this year, three Bangladeshi nationals Mohd. Yousuf Khan, Bithi Begum and Sojib Shaik, and one Indian national, Ruhul Amin Dhalli, were arrested and a charge sheet was filed in the case against them. (ANI)
