The three accused, all her neighbours, were allegedly stalking her and one of them pulled her inside his house and raped her.

A police officer stated, "After one of the accused gagged her and dragged her into his house, his two accomplices locked the room from inside and covered them with two bedsheets so that her cries for help could not be heard from outside."
