She alleged that she was sexually abused several times since the last week of December, 2004 to the first week of April, 2005. The victim ~ allured by better remuneration offered by the middleman ~ was sent to Kolkata by her father to work as a domestic help.

The accused couple took her to several other brothels also, besides drugging her and torturing her with firearms, she alleged. While she was in Kolkata, Sahu brought her sister to Kolkata, too. She, too, was sexually exploited. The racket was run by Paresh Rana, Subal Chand and two other unknown persons, she stated in the FIR. Both sisters managed to escape from the clutches of the accused.
