The incident occurred on Friday around 10.15pm, when the victim, who resides in a narrow bylane at Ramabai Nagar, was studying in the verandah. According to her complaint, the two accused, Aakash Takke (18) and Swapnil Sahadev (24), entered the lane and groped her. "When I shouted, they threatened me," she said in the complaint.
