She has further stated that she, weeping, went to the house of her mother and told her about the incident. Thereafter, she went to Mantram (PW4) along with her mother and informed him about the incident. Thereafter, a village meeting was called in which the Appellant was also present. The Appellant denied the guilt. Thereafter, she lodged the report. In paragraph 7, she has admitted that she had shouted “Bachao Bachao”, but nobody had come to rescue her. She has explained about this that at that time a loudspeaker was blowing in her village, therefore, her shout remained unheard.
