According to the FIR filed by the victim's family in April this year, the accused, Himanshu Rathod, 23; Farroq Shekda, 21 and Sultan Vazir Shaikh, 24, had gone to a hookah parlour along with the victim on the day of the incident. After spending some time with them when the victim complained of headache, Himanshu suggested that she should stay at Sultan's house in Goregaon West for the night.
