According to reports, the woman was first made to walk barefoot on the road as villagers gathered around. People in the crowd shouted for her to be beaten and her hair cut. In the presence of her husband, her hair was chopped off.

Women in the crowd then assaulted her, tore off her clothes and paraded her through the village. Despite her attempts to protect herself, the assault continued. Several villagers recorded videos of the incident.
