In her complaint to the police, the girl, a cancer survivor, has alleged that she went to a local market on Saturday evening.

However, he allegedly took her on his bike to a secluded location where he and his friend Sumit gang-raped her till about 11 pm in the night.
After this, the boys dropped her by the side of a road and fled, she said. The girl was lying on a road when a man, a local contractor, passed by on his motorcycle. The girl stopped him, narrated the incident and requested the man to drop him home.
