She accused that when her parents failed, Basheer started harassing her and forcibly engaged in unnatural sex with her and torn her clothes on May 24. later threatening her with dire consequences, he threw her out of the house. She later informed her family and reported the matter to the police.

A case against Basheer under the sections of sodomy, dowry harassment, assault and life threats was filed at the Mantola police station in Agra.
