The joint commissioner of the Mumbai Police, Milind Bharambe revealed that Kapil Sharma had approached DC designs for his Bharat Benz vanity van. However, the company failed to deliver the vanity van to him. The company in question, DC Designs charged him a sum of ₹5.30 crores for the vanity van at the time.

Kapil Sharma paid the amount and waited eagerly for the arrival of his vanity van. During 2018, VAT changed into GST for which the company asked Kapil to pay them an additional ₹40 lakh. Kapil paid the amount and yet DC failed to deliver the van to him. Further on, he approached the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) which seized all accounts of DC designs. It was during this time that DC designs demanded Kapil to pay them extra ₹60 lakhs, for which he refused. Following this row, the comedian headed to file a complaint against Dilip Chhabria and DC Designs. A while before Kapil reached the police, DC designs sent him a bill of ₹12 lakhs quoting it to be "parking charges" for his Bharat Benz vanity van, as per ANI.
