As soon as an FIR was filed against Daya Shankar, he ran away from the fear of being caught. On 29 July 2016, he got arrested from the Buxar district of Bihar and was kept in judicial custody in Mau, Uttar Pradesh. His then-wife, Swati Singh lodged an FIR against the leaders of BSP for threatening their 12-year-old daughter and her mother-in-law under sections 120B (punishment for criminal conspiracy), 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups), 504 (intentional insult with intent to breach peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC in August 2016. After the FIR filed by his wife, Daya Shankar was released from the custody on 6 August 2016.

After an enquiry was carried out by Subodh Kumar Singh, the deputy manager of Mahindra and Mahindra, with the State Bank of India, he got to know that no bank guarantee existed with the bank; therefore he filed an FIR.
