According to the police, the incident occurred on June 21st, and the following day, PG owner Ravi Teja Reddy started questioning the PG inmates about the theft.

In the meantime, the victim had asked another inmate whether even after CCTv was disconnected, the video gets recorded, which was promptly shared with Reddy.

Upon suspicion, Reddy summoned her for questioning and threatened to hand her over to the police, where she confessed to the theft. Based on the confession, Reddy asked his associates to get the valuables that she had hidden.

The victim fell on the feet of Reddy to let her go and not to hand her over to the police. Taking advantage of this, Reddy slapped her and sexually assaulted the victim.

The victim initially was hesitant to file a complaint, but later revealed it to a male friend, who in turn sought the help of his friend, a city-based advocate, and filed a complaint with the police.

Based on the complaint, the Mico Layout police subjected the victim to a medical examination, and the accused was immediately arrested.
