When the couple refused to comply with this unjust demand, Pramod Singh, along with his son Anshu and their associates, resorted to a horrifying act of violence against the woman. They assaulted her and forcibly stripped her naked, as detailed in her complaint to the police.

According to the woman's statement, Pramod Singh, Anshu, and four other men forcibly took her with them on Saturday night while she was fetching water from a hand pump outside her home.
