The four took her to a house in another locality, thereby violating her. It is learned that the victim was let go on Monday, but her family was pressurized not to venture out by the accused. However, the victim and her mother approached Kanti Police Station on Tuesday, where they lodged a complaint against Deepak Kumar and Sanjeet Kumar, among the group of four.
