The complainant said she met Santokh and told him that she wanted to meet Lucky. She alleged that he promised to take her to Lucky. She added that on the pretext of taking her to Lucky, he asked her to sit in his car alone.

She said he parked his car at a secluded place and raped her at gunpoint. He threatened her of dire consequences if she told anyone about it.
