  • History

    Earlier, girl's parents had noticed dip in performance, changed behavior

  • According to News18, the girl's parents had noticed a dip in her performance when they accompanied her to Goa and also observed that she was avoiding the coach.

    Growing suspicious, the parents pressed her for answers and she narrated her ordeal to them.

    The family returned to West Bengal and the father approached the Rishra Police Station in Hoogly district to file a complaint.

  • However, the Rishra Police Station wouldn't file a complaint as the incident occurred in Goa.

    The girl then took to social media for justice. "He would touch me, threaten me, 'Don't tell your parents. You have a future,'" she is quoted as saying by NDTV.

    The girl's father then filed a complaint over email and an FIR was registered at the Mapusa police station.
