On the day of the incident, the victim had met the accused to collect some items. During the afternoon lunch break, Gowda called him repeatedly and invited him to the seventh floor of the Architecture Block. There the accused tried to forcefully kiss her. When the student started leaving the lift, he followed her. Dragged her to the male toilet on the sixth floor and raped her there.

Report filed in FIR

According to the report recorded in the FIR, the incident occurred between 1:30 pm and 1:50 pm. Accused Gowda closed the door and also confiscated the student’s phone. After the incident, he called the student and allegedly asked if she wanted a pill (contraceptive medicine)? After the incident, the victim told the whole story to her two friends, but due to fear and tension she could not complain immediately.
