The case originated from an incident during a train journey when the couple had an argument. Following this, a Bajrang Dal member filed a police complaint against Alam, accusing him of kidnapping the girl, a 10th-grade student, and pressuring her to convert to Islam.

The charges filed against Alam included sections from the Indian Penal Code (IPC):
