According to the victim, when she and one of her friend (name not disclosed) was returning from Jenkha after visiting Durga puja festivity on October 12 around 5 kilometres from her residence, a youth identified as Ranjit Tisso “forcefully” took them both in an auto rickshaw to an isolated sugarcane plantation, by the road side between Jenkha and Menmazi, and raped her, while her friend managed to escape.
The incident was not reported to the police immediately, as the village headmen tried to resolve the matter according to customary law but realizing the limitations of the community justice parents of the victim ultimately took the matter before police. Ranjit Tisso is on the run.
