An official said the complainant in the case had come to the country as part of a diplomatic mission. On Saturday evening, she had gone to attend a food festival in south Mumbai along with two others. Later, she went to a café with the two colleagues in south Mumbai and returned to Indira Dock of the Bombay Port Trust in a cab.

As per procedure, a driver ferries them in a tempo traveller from the gate to the ship. As the woman along with two of her colleagues reached the dock, the accused, identified as Anil Kamble, first shook hands of the two colleagues who entered his vehicle.
