A woman,Krutika,invited her to join her group that comprised Madne,Ali and another youth. Later that night,she was invited to join Krutika and friends at her residence. They left in two autorickshaws,but on the way there was a change in plan and they decided to go to Manori village,where they reached around 7 am the next day. “The group apparently booked a cottage at Manori village.
