Details: On Saturday afternoon, the girl (victim) came across Shreyas at a pub and soon friendship blossomed between them. Shreyas then invited the girl for a party in the evening for which the girl is said to have given her consent for it. Shreyas then booked a room at a hotel on the Outer Ring Road from the pub itself and took the girl to the hotel room where Shashank, said to be a relative of Shreyas, was already present in the room.
The duo (Shreyas and Shashank) sexually assaulted the girl and had reportedly made videos of the same which they had sent to two of their friends, the complaint stated.
