Raju, who was a friend of the girl's father, had visited their house when the family's father and mother had left for work. At that time, only the four children were at home. According to the information provided, Raju initially gave money to the other three children, instructing them to go out and buy something to eat. This left the 10-year-old girl alone with him in the house.

The cries of the girl were heard by the local residents, who rushed to the scene and managed to catch hold of the assailant. The villagers, united by their concern, apprehended Raju before handing him over to the Bhogpur police. Authorities quickly arrived at the scene and took the accused into custody.
