The shocking incident came to the fore following the victim’s family members lodged a complaint at the Bharatpur police station on March 4.

The plot of the album was based on the model Soumya Ranjan Panigrahi’s suicide case. The model had committed suicide at his residence in Nandan Vihar area of the Capital city, holding his girl friend responsible for his death.
The victim was signed to portray the character of Soumya’s girlfriend in the album.
The second part of the shooting was held at a house in Bharatpur area the same night (March 3). She was briefed about a hostage sequence that follows her kidnapping, she said.
However, in reality, the miscreants tied up her hands and legs while Biswal raped her repeatedly.
