The 17-year-old victim is from Lakhimpur Kheri, a city in Uttar Pradesh, India. In the case, the accused who works in a salon shop asked the victim to marry her which she refused. The rejection triggered the 21-year-old to do the horrible activity.

The victim during the time of investigation mentioned how the accused mother and sister helped the accused by holding her hands to brand his name on her forehead with a hot iron rod while she was screaming for help. This shook the nation wondering how a family supported a crime against a girl.

On April 21, the victim somehow escaped from the cruel man and returned home. Her family filed a complaint against the man.
