In the complaint, Sudhir Mittal claimed that on May 23, 2015, he booked a return ticket from Chandigarh to Srinagar through the travel web-portal Make My Trip for Rs 33,790. The journey was booked for June 4, 2015, in the name of Mittal's son and four of his friends. The return journey had been wrongly booked for July 14, 2015.
