According to the police, "The victim, who has a Masters Degree was introduced to the accused by her husband. The trio (accused and his friends) had promised the woman a job placement in a corporate firm. On Monday, the victim travelled along with the three accused in an autorickshaw which was driven by one of the suspects, Atul. She went for her interview which was scheduled in Bhavdan. Post that, she was informed that she has been shortlisted for the final round in Goa."

The police official added, "The trio asked her to immediately travel to Goa since this was a good job opportunity with a good salary. She accompanied the accused trio to Goa where she was given a drink which was laced with a sedative. She was then raped by the accused Vivek and Atul. They later brought her in a car to Katraj where they repeatedly raped her. Later, they threw her out of the moving car on an isolated road. Commuters then helped to rush her to a nearby hospital. We are currently investigating the case."
