During the investigation, the police learnt that one of the accused has already served prison time for a similar crime. The principal and teachers of the survivor had noticed that she was one of the brightest and most chirpy students till class VI but she suddenly started fairing poorly in exams resulting in failing in class IX. "She had become quiet and lost interest in studies and activities that would excite her earlier," said a teacher.
According to the Times of India, whenever someone confronted her, she would find a way to escape the conversation but after she failed her exam, the principal decided to counsel her. She was hesitant at first but later she broke down revealing the horrifying truth. She stated when she was in class VI, a 35-year-old neighbour lured her to his house with chocolates, thrashed and raped her. The rape continued and the accused would wait for her to return from school and rape her when her parents were away at work. Soon the accused called a 30-year-old man to rape her. The survivor told the police she was scared to say anything as the duo has threatened her with dire consequences. An FIR has been registered against the two accused under POCSCO Act.
