As per a New Minute report, the delay in filing the case occurred because the girl's family denied the incident.

After receiving information about the alleged incident from local tribal volunteers, tribal and social activist S. Thanaraj went forward to complain to DSP, Mr S. Selvanagarathinam. The girl was taken for a medical examination on January 7, the results of which are still pending.

The girl's parents were not at home on the day of the incident, when she was allegedly kidnapped by five masked individuals around 2 p.m., according to Thanaraj's petition. They are accused of taking her into the woods and sexually assaulting her.

The girl's relative, who requested anonymity in an interview, stated that she was unable to identify the alleged perpetrators. According to the relative, the child was abducted early in the morning and left near her house around 7 p.m., which differs from Thanaraj's complaint. The village residents noticed her hands were bound when she was discovered.
