The victim, a resident of Boja village, lodged a complaint with the police alleging that one Manu, a friend of her foster brother Davindra Singh, raped her during Davindra's marriage, after which she got pregnant, they said.

According to the police, on learning about the pregnancy, girl foster brothers Davindra and Jugraj, and their friend Ravindra Singh allegedly raped her.
