One such night, on 17-01-2020 around 9:30 P.M. she was returning from workplace on her scooty, where she noticed four men desperately asking for help beside the highway. Out of generosity, she stopped her scooty and two men told her that they are tourists and one of their friends is laying injured at a distance. While she got down from her scooty, two of them accompanied her to a distant secluded place. On her way, she realized that her phone was inside the scooty, so she returned for taking the same and on return, she found that her two-wheeler tyre was punctured.

All of a sudden, the two men, who had asked for help accompanied by two other men came towards her and started touching her in a wrong way. She got scared and slapped one of them, to which the men became angry and then dragged the girl to a distant place and raped her one by one. In the fear of not getting caught, the four men put petroleum in her body and burnt her alive till she was dead and ran away towards the nearby village.
