As per the First Information Report (FIR) lodged at the area police station by her father, the Class 11 student was returning home from school when two men she knew offered to drop her at her house.
“Since my daughter had an acquaintance with them, she readily agreed to accompany the two men, but they took her to a desolate place where they were joined by three others who took turns on her. The accused later dropped her off at the main crossing where she was spotted by locals who took her to the area police station,” stated the father in the FIR.
