Chauhan, a jobless driver is said to have killed the woman in a fit of rage over some monetary disputes and the charge sheet details the sequence of events, the causes and other aspects leading to the heinous crime.

Following the huge altercation at an isolated spot in Sakinaka, Chauhan raped her, and then brutalised her by thrusting an iron rod into her private parts before fleeing.
An alert local security guard called up the Mumbai Police Main Control Room around 3 a.m. and a Sakinaka police station team rushed there and immediately shifted her to Rajawadi Hospital where she succumbed after over 30 hours.
Taking strong cognisance, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray ordered the investigations to be completed within a month and the charge sheet to be filed in the case, which the investigating team has done within 18 days.
The charge sheet also has the statement of the watchman, other witnesses who had seen the victim and the accused together, the medical teams which attempted to save her, the relatives of the accused, etc.
In the wake of the incident, the Mumbai Police has implemented a series of measures to ensure the safety of women, especially at night, strengthening of existing patrolling and detection methods, etc.
