HT has a copy of the complaint, which clearly said the girl had been gangraped.

The victim, a resident of a village under Maharajgang police station in Azamgarh district, had left for Vindhyachal along with her mother-in-law, father-in-law and brother-in-law. On the way, their neighbours Jhanku Ram, Prem Chand and Tilakdhari also joined them. All of them boarded a bus to Mau from where they had to board the Chauri Chaura Express.

In Mau, the trio sent the rest of the family to the railway station to buy tickets while they took the woman to the deserted waiting room of the bus stand where they took turns raping her. All three then escaped.

When the woman did not reach the railway station for several hours, the brother-in-law returned to the bus stand and found her unconscious.

After the victim regained her senses, they informed the police.
