After parking their car at Patroda village in Jhajjar, these five men took turns to sexually assault her, the woman's complaint said. At the time of sexual assault, these men also consumed alcohol that they were carrying with them. The woman went on to say that the men then dropped her off somewhere in Farrukh Nagar.

A case under sections 376D (gang rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been filed.
