The victim, a resident of Belagavi, had gone to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city with one of the accused. Subsequently, the other two suspects joined them.

One of the accused, Sakib, had reserved a room at the farmhouse. It is alleged that the suspects gang-raped the girl during a party held there. After the assault, one of the accused reportedly removed the girl's necklace.
