While she was coming back, Vinod Sharma caught her and forced her down. He attempted to rape her. Her dress was torn by Vinod. she started to shout for help. After listening to her help calls some people who were working nearby, came running for her help. Seeing people come there, the accused ran away in the forest. When her husband Motilal Bairwa came to know about the incident, he went to Vinod Sharma and had a heated argument with him. The accused called his friends by Banwari Sharma, Ghanshyam Sharma, Madan etc. started beating MotiLal and abused him. When the victim and her husband went to the police station to file FIR, the police did not register the case and asked them to sit from noon 2pm to night 10pm. Police officer Punnilal Meena out of his position forced them to negotiate the case. When the couple denied any negotiation, the cop registered the FIR. Although the FIR was registered, the police did not invoke appropriate sections of the IPC. On the other hand, though the FIR was registered, the police officer did not hand over the slip of the report to victim.
