In the beginning, though the police received the complaint, they did not agree to register the case (FIR), but as now Sameera came to the media, the Kundapura Police have registered FIR.  As per Sameera, she was working as an waitress in Rami Guest Line hotel in Rigga, Dubai, since one year. Adip Shetty was working there as a cashier. They become known to each other which turned into love and also decided to get married.

 
But Sameera got transferred to Oman. Later on pursuance of Adip she resigned her job in Oman and came to Dubai on 17 February and joined another hotel. At that time for her to come to Dubai the visiting visa has been arranged by Adip and for this he had taken Dhirams 24,000 (about rupees 3 lakhs) from Sameera.

 
During this time, Adip forcefully had physical relationship with her in a apartment and she was 2 months pregnant and had a natural miscarriage. Besides he brought his colleagues from Kundapura Harish Shetty, Rajesh Shetty and Eshwara and asked her to cooperate with them. And when she refused, he beat her and insulted her by abusing her, thus showing his true colours. He was trying to use her to make money, says Sameera.

 
On March 3rd in a hotel Adip left her, taking her jewellery and purse and never returned. When she did not have money to pay the rent of the room, the hotel staff took her visa. Finally she gave her gold chain and released her visa. Adip who went from there has resigned his job and have come straight to India, she said.

 
I have given complaint on him to the Indian Embassy in Dubai. Besides that, to give complaint on him I left Dubai and came to India a week ago and have given complaint in Kundapura Police Station. But the police here say that, the incident has taken place in Dubai, hence they ask me to give the complaint there in Dubai itself. But since the accused is now here, the case has to be registered here and legal action has to be taken on him, she urges.

 
Also, as asked by Adip, through her mother in Kochi Sameera has sent Rs. 49,900 to Mr. Bijadi and Rs. 49,900 to Basava Kulal from Canara Bank account. Sameera herself has sent Rs. 77,000 to Adip’s elder brother Arunkumar Shetty and Rs. 25,00 to Adip and Rs. 13,000 to her sister in Oman, for which she produced the documents along with her complaint to the Police Station.
