Sources said that the accused performs kirtan work in the village and teaches harmonium to the people and was in a relationship with the woman. In the video, a middle-aged man is seen caught by the villagers in an objectionable position with the woman. Due to sudden threats from people, both try to wear clothes but are not allowed to do so by the people.
