Officials at the Maur police station have recorded the statement of the woman and registered a case against six persons. The accused are absconding and the police are conducting raids to arrest them.

In the complaint, it has been stated that she lives with her husband in a rented house in the village and as both are elderly, they have also offered accommodation to Makhan Singh of the same village, who helps them in household works.

Jagraj Singh, living near their house, was suspecting that they had offered accommodation to Makhan Singh for wrong reasons.

She has also stated that on the night of July 15, around 12 am, accused Jagraj Singh, Jagpal Singh, Nimma Singh, Dhira Singh, Lovely Singh and Jassi Singh entered her house by scaling the wall and started beating her up.
