On being asked about the incident, the girl narrated the suffering to her parents. Police said that Vasava took the girl inside a room under the pretext of having rice. The accused then locked the door and raped the girl. The complainant also said that later when he went to Vasava's house to complain, his parents instead got into arguments with him and Vasava meanwhile fled from there.

However, Vasava had not been arrested since most of the officials had been occupied with election duties. A police official said that they will act against the accused once the polls are over.
