Reportedly, no money changed hands between the bookie Sonu Jalan and him for Arbaaz's bets in IPL matches. Whether it did or not, Arbaaz was in the red at almost every given point.

Talking to Times Of India, inspector Pradeep Sharma, senior police inspector from Thane anti extortion cell, has confirmed, "After this, Jalan started harassing Arbaaz to accompany him to various public functions like local Ganesh mandals and Holi festivities so that he could flaunt his Bollywood connections and gather more clients."
