Presuming the course to be full time, the Shikshan Shulka Samiti (SSS) had asked the institute to charge a fee of Rs91,400 per year for the two-year diploma course. However, the institute allegedly charged Rs2.30 lakh from each of the students for two years.

While granting bail, the court directed the Oberois to remain present before the investigation officer every Tuesday and Friday till the charge-sheet is filed, and to surrender their passports and not to leave the district.

In the earlier 37 cases the couple were granted bail on solvent surety of Rs25,000 each for 37 complaints filed against them.
