A case was registered against him and the police launched an investigation into the incident. During the inquiry, Gurdip revealed that he had first visited Hong Kong in 1995 on his own visa, and became a regular traveller since.

Gurdip had been travelling to Hong Kong since 2008 using the fake identity of Karnail Singh and even managed to obtain a permanent identity card with the fake name.
