She also suffered injuries in the scuffle.  Her relatives and neighbors reportedly asked her to keep quiet when she alerted them the next morning. The panchayat member of the area also showed similar apathy and ignored her complaint, the victim alleged A social worker of the area later alerted the police. Doctors have confirmed the sexual assault. The victim has named a man from the area who is absconding. The police registered a case under IPC sections 377 and 354.
