According to the FIR, Khan and the director of the company disagreed about space allocation during an exhibition. It is alleged that Khan and associates posted offensive, disparaging, and obscene content on Instagram intending to damage the company's brand. The director of the company also alleged harassment and threats.

Khan's request for anticipatory bail was denied by the Dindoshi Sessions Court earlier this month, although pre-arrest bail was granted to others. Khan is presently in Russia, and requested protection from arrest from the High Court following the refusal.

Chavan disclosed to Justice NJ Jamadar, Khan's present whereabouts in Russia during the hearings. The court ordered Chavan to provide an affidavit outlining Khan's schedule for his return to India. On December 14, the anticipatory plea will be heard again. Rajiv Chavan, the lawyer for Sahil Khan requested anticipatory bail.
